Texans legendary WR Andre Johnson to be inducted in Houston Sports Hall of Fame

Former Texans receiver Andre Johnson will be inducted into the 2021 Houston Sports Hall of Fame.

Andre Johnson is adding another hall of fame induction to his resume.

According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Sports Hall of Fame announced Thursday they will be inducting the Houston Texans Ring of Honor receiver in April 2021. Other members of the 2021 class include Houston Astros standouts Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Houston Cougars “Phi Slamma Jamma” coach Guy V. Lewis, and Houston Cougars head football coach Bill Yeoman.

“It’s a great,’’ Johnson said. “It speaks to the accomplishments I’ve had during my career. I’m very surprised, and I’m excited about it.’’

Johnson was inducted into the Texans Ring of Honor in 2017 and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 2019.

The former No. 3 pick in the 2003 NFL Draft stayed with the Texans through the 2014 season, catching 1,012 passes for 13,597 yards and 64 touchdowns, all three of which are franchise records.

Johnson will join late founder Bob McNair as the only two Texans in the Houston Sports Hall of Fame, which has Oilers legends in running back Earl Campbell and quarterback Dan Pastorini.
