Andre Johnson will get to give another acceptance speech, this time in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.When Andre Johnson became eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame two voting cycles ago, the biggest obstacle to Johnson gaining entry into Canton was the logjam of elite wide receivers already on the ballot. Stars like Reggie Wayne and Torry Holt had already been finalists for the Hall before Johnson was even eligible.
It cannot be overstated how big a night Thursday night was for Johnson, the Texans organization, and Texan fans everywhere. With a franchise still very young compared to others, and very little substantial postseason success, Thursday night was the closest thing to a Super Bowl that Texan fans have experienced. A franchise icon is immortalized.“Being selected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame means everything to me,” Johnson said.
Johnson was a four-time All-Pro selection , a seven-time Pro Bowler and a member of the 2003 NFL All-Rookie Team. In 2017, he was named the inaugural member of the Texans' Ring of Honor.
