I will never understand what some people have against football players celebrating a TD or a first down or whatever. They aren't robots made for your entertainment why do you expect them to act like so? I understand being annoyed at celebrations that seem to take forever but who cares if he makes a gesture and then moves on? That **** happens at like every game by a bunch of different players both Texan and other.
Stop it!! Just stop it, smartass!!!
I hated AJ's celebration after his big catch... Act like you've been there, AJ... Just put the ball in the refs hands... then walk off the field, drive to airport, fly to St. Louis and start throwing down on Innegan...then signal first down...
That would have officially been the greatest first down celebration of all time, hands down on his face...
I'm not going to lie. I thought it was corny at first. It looked forced to me. Wasn't going to say he shouldn't do it, it just seemed cheesy.
But the more he does it and the more I hear him talk I realize the guy is just loving the moment. He loves the game and he's thankful for every minute and is just having fun. Im fine with guys just having fun.

might as well cut Andre too, can't have all this non-sense of celebrating first downs or showing emotion.
When/if he makes an NFL roster, and accomplishes a quarter of what AJ has accomplished in a season, he can do what ever he wants. I'm all for being pumped up on the field...but let's not get over excited for something you are supposed to do anyway. Until then save if for breaking tackles to keep a drive going, a touchdown, or some other spectacular play. Catching a quick out route on 2nd and 6, and running out of bounds for first down is great. When you have history of moving the chains more times than you have dropped passes that would have moved the chains then maybe you can do what you need. I couldn't stand it when 88 did it for the Cowgirls, becuase it was about him every freaking time he touched the ball for a 1st down, and it's killed it for everyone else since then. I don't care if they do it...just not on every single time they make a catch. I'd rather just see them do the celebrating in the endzone.
...and that catch in the picture was a deep ball he went up for against a double team...not some routine first down.
At the risk of coming under fire from the OP, I disagree, respectfully. I quite enjoy the attitude possessed by the likes of Antonio Smith, Arian and Lestar. We need players like that. In my humble opinion. Plus, when I'm fired up after seeing the offense go stagnant, then Lestar helps us to continue moving the chains, by all means, let us know that's good for a Houston Texans....FIRST DOWN!!!!
I'd say AJ has earned the right. He also does it relatively infrequently. Celebration is like salt. A little bit is good. A lot ruins the meal.
That would be a funny picture to caption.
