2. Andre Johnson, Wide Receiver
Andre Johnson played 12 seasons with the Houston Texans, and during that time he was one of the more reliable players on the roster. He played in no less than 13 games a season in 10 of his 12 years with the franchise, and if he were a member of the 2019 Texans roster he would give then the much needed edge they are lacking, because at times last season that “edge” just wasn’t there when it was needed.
When he was on the field with the Texans, Johnson was an intense player, and he demanded respect for his skills on the field, plus his numbers more than showcase those skills.
Johnson was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, and for a four-year stretch from 2011-14 he was a NFL Top 100 player. The wide receiver was a two-time first-team All-Pro, two-time AFC Offensive Player of the Week and two-time Offensive AFC Player of the Month.
The former All-Pro, Johnson in his 10 seasons with the Texans collected 1,012 receptions for 13,597 yards, 64 touchdowns, 13.4 yards per reception and 80.5 yards per game receiving.
Another aspect besides all of his accolades with Johnson is he would make every player on the Texans offense better, and that includes DeAndre Hopkins, as the opposing defense would have to “pick their poison” as to who would garner the top coverage.
Imagine how much better Deshaun Watson would be if he had both Johnson and Hopkins on the field together, plus with the likes of Will Fuller and Keke Coutee to have even less top coverage against them.
The addition of Johnson in his prime would completely change the outlook of the Houston offense … that is, if the offensive line was able to hold up to allow the players to get open.
