Hugging his wife, Amanda, and their daughter, Texans veteran long snapper Jon Weeks became emotional as a congratulatory video paid tribute to his uncommon longevity and success in the NFL.
Weeks was out of football after two years after trying out for the Detroit Lions and was training in Arizona to be an emergency medical technician when he got the call from the Texans.Weeks’ most memorable game: his first preseason game 13 years ago against his hometown Arizona Cardinals.
Weeks signed a one-year, $1.272 million contract this offseason that includes a $1.12 million base salary and a $152,500 signing bonus.He has been an iron man playing through injuries to snap every game for the past 13 years.Weeks passed retired Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Johnson for the most games in franchise history in 2020.“I’ve been lucky,” he said. “I’ve been very fortunate, thank goodness, that nothing very dangerous has come along.
“To see how they take care of their bodies, the mental aspect, the physical, everything that they did to prepare for Sundays. I sat back, I watched and I tried to learn and pick up from that,” Weeks said. “Those are things that I try to pass on to the younger kids because I watched a bunch of great football players do it the right way, and I was privileged to do so.”
