Andre Johnson Talks Colts Debut

The catch left him wanting more, but Andre Johnson knew.

After 12 NFL seasons, Johnson knows how veterans operate in the preseason, particularly in Week One.

Johnson’s debut with the Colts lasted just 11 snaps on Sunday, ending after a nine-yard grab to move the chains on a third-and-nine.

The lone reception from Johnson was a carbon copy of what he’s shown in Anderson.

With Eagles cornerback Nolan Carroll behind Johnson and unable to get his arms around the 6-3, 230-pound wideout, Johnson gave Andrew Luck a clear throwing lane to hit him in stride.

“I was just anxious to get my first catch and to actually get out there in a game atmosphere,” Johnson said following his Colts debut.

“When you get that first catch, you want to keep playing but they snatched us right out (smiles). That’s part of it, part of the process.”
