Andre Johnson is the NFL’s Best Receiver

Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson is the best in the NFL—not just because he has prototypical size (6′3″, 228), runs great routes, has great hands and led the league in receptions last season with 115. But because he does his job better than everyone else while still remaining humble about it. In an era of crybaby, diva receivers who crave attention, all for the glorification of their massive egos, Andre (and AZ Cards WR Larry Fitzgerald) are a breath of fresh air.

Yesterday was just another Sunday for Andre as he caught 10 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns—this while being the focal point of one of the NFL’s best defenses in the Tennessee Titans. Did you hear him shooting off at the mouth about it afterward? No, he just goes about his job, striking fear in the hearts of defensive backs around the league. The only thing holding him back is his team. Yesterday, the Texans actually won a football game—something they’ll need to do a lot more of before Andre gets his deserved credit.
