Texans WR Andre Johnson: Future Hall of Famer?

It's been a frustrating season for Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson, a trend that may continue Sunday when he pairs up with New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis, who limited him to four catches for 35 yards last year.

"I look forward to playing against him," says Johnson. "He's the best cornerback in the game, and people say that I'm the best wide receiver, so people look forward to matchups like that. When you play sports, you want to play against the best. I just look forward to the challenge."

Johnson, a Pro Bowler in four of the last six years, is nursing an ankle injury that's cost him one game, and he'll need a strong finish to become the first man to post three consecutive 1,500-yard receiving seasons while driving the suddenly flagging Texans to their first playoff birth.

Still, the two-time first-team all-pro ranks No. 1 in NFL history with 79.4 receiving yards per game (Anquan Boldin is a somewhat surprising second at 78.0 ypg), has a strong claim as the game's top wideout and has quickly built an impressive case to be the first member of the Texans worthy of a ticket to Canton.

In seven-plus seasons, Johnson has 639 grabs for 8,729 yards, leaving him 10th among current players in both categories. He also has 46 TD receptions.
