Andre Johnson is a quiet soul who puts his head down to control what he can control.
Rarely does he get involved in any controversy, drama, or skirmish. If he does, he brings the fire. Ask Cortland Finnegan.
The Texans Ring of Honor member took to Twitter recently to express his disdain for the organization’s direction and implored franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson to stand his ground as the organization gets ready to hire a coach to replace Bill O’Brien, who was fired on Oct. 5, 2020.
Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair said Friday he appreciates where the three-time All-Pro receiver, who played for Houston from 2003-14, is coming from.
“We have a long relationship with Andre, as you know, and I’d just say we feel his passion,” McNair said via FOX 26’s [KRIV-TV] Mark Berman. “He’s got a lot of passion for the Texans, for the game, and we share that.”
McNair says he spoke to Johnson early when he was appointed to McNair’s five-man advisory committee on finding a new coach. However, McNair acknowledged he has not spoken since, although he has reached out to Johnson.
