Miami. Andre Johnson. '03. player. 10. <p>In 2003, the Texans took receiver Andre Johnson out of Miami with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. And albeit with the Indianapolis Colts, he’s still in the NFL, on the back-9 of his career. He just signed with the Colts this offseason after spending 12 seasons with the Texans.</p> <p>And in his 12 seasons in Houston, what he gave the fans was always worth the price of admission. As a matter of fact, there were times that he was the only one on the team worth the ticket price. He’s had some of the most productive seasons a wide receiver has had in the NFL while in Houston.</p> <p>He’s gone over 1,400 yards receiving on four different occassions 1,500 three times in his career. Two of those seasons were back-to-back (2008 and 2009) and he had 17 touchdowns in that span. And right now, he’s No. 10 all-time in receiving yards with 13,983 and No. 8 in receptions with 1,043.</p> <p>For all his efforts, Johnson was named to three All-Pro teams and seven Pro Bowls in his career. He never played in the played in a Super Bowl, something he thought he would do with the Colts this year, but he kept the Texans relevant most of the time. A few more highly-decorated players like Johnson on the team would have got them there.</p>. WR
