ET80 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 https://www.google.com/amp/profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/07/18/andre-johnson-to-be-first-member-of-texans-ring-of-honor/amp/ Johnson was the #3 pick in the 2003 draft, and established himself as one of the elite WRs in the league, and the first genuine superstar to play for the Houston Texans. Despite playing with less than stellar QBs over the course of his career, Johnson managed to amass 1,062 Receptions for 14,185 yards and 70 TDs over a 12 year career. The quiet Johnson was a stark contrast to WRs of that era, and the city of Houston was truly lucky to witness this career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ wasn't as good as the very elite guys (Moss, Owens) but could make a claim at the next level (Fitzgerald, Smith). One thing in AJs favor - he'd be the first Texans' player inducted. HOF voters like to make history like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'm curious as to who the second member of the Ring of Honor will be. Arian Foster? Eric Winston? A.J., at this point, is obviously the greatest Texan of all-time and deserves the honor of being fir. Should've put Watt up there while he was out last year.

I'd actually say Aaron Glenn or DeMeco Ryans in next. Foster could also be in the running, but I know he rubbed fans the wrong way a lot with his attitude.

I'd throw Watt in there at halftime of a preseason game to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 A general lack of team success is what I think will prevent him from making the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 As I told you earlier, there is literally no one better to deserve it. I would honestly love to see Arian Foster make it in as well. But there is without a doubt no one more deserving than Andre to be #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ballot HOFer if they actually look at the situation. I'm biased, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I agree. The realist in my says: if it took Andre Reed and Cris Carter a few years, and if Terrell Owens is still waiting...then AJ needs to get comfortable. John "Pancakes" McClain is basically the PR representative for the Houston Texans, and he's a voter for the HOF. I fully expect him to barricade the doors and hold everyone hostage until he gets the needed votes to get Andre in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I understand with Reed and Carter taking awhile, but both had much better teams/QBs to work with. The Texans were a running joke for much of AJ's career, their only real threat on offense, was constantly double and triple teamed with basically HS JV QBs throwing to him, and still put up top 3 WR stats. Only player to arguably to put up as good of stats with about the same amount of help/QB play level would be Larry Fitzgerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingandre Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The downfall with AJ is going to be his lack of TD production, though not fault of his. He actually was great at it, we just refused to throw jump balls to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad when Steve Smith's quarterback situation in Carolina was notably superior to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
