Former Texans coach Gary Kubiak to present Andre Johnson
Gary Kubiak on Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Andre Johnson : ‘This guy is special, he stood the test of time’Recommended Videos
“I really didn’t know what to say. I said to Andre: ‘Andre, you’re going to make me cry. It’s just a powerful moment. Makes you feel good about all the years and all the things you did to know that. I know how much it meant to me. That’s pretty cool.”The Texans’ first player to be enshrined in Canton, Johnson was a dominant presence on the field feared by defensive backs for his size, strength, speed, polished moves and veteran savvy.
“When I got there, obviously he was the big piece of the team,” Kubiak said. “The minute I met Andre, just all business, all about what can we do to make the team successful. Probably, the first time I ever saw him practice is when I knew this guy is special. I’ve been around some Hall of Fame players, fortunate enough to do that in my career. And I told the coaches real quick, ‘Guys, you know, I know we got a long way to go, but this guy is special now.’ So, they built around him.
“Could have been a Hall of Fame tight end, he had that type of body if he wanted to put on 20 pounds, I mean, he had great size for the position,” Kubiak said. “He was extremely powerful. And, what I mean by that is if you if you played off of him as a defensive back, his power would get up on top of it.
