Another former Houston Texans star is calling it quits.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Andre Johnson is retiring from the NFL in the middle of his 14th season, the team announced Monday. Johnson spent his first 12 seasons with the Texans before joining the Indianapolis Colts last season and eventually landing with the Titans for the 2016 campaign.
This news comes one week after running back Arian Foster, who spent his first seven seasons with the Texans before signing with the Miami Dolphins in July, announced his retirement.
Johnson, the third overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, earned seven Pro Bowl selections with the Texans. The 35-year-old’s production has dropped off in recent years, though, and he’ll walk away after catching just nine passes for 85 yards in eight games with the Titans.
Johnson totaled 1,062 catches for 14,185 yards with 70 touchdowns in his career. He’s the most accomplished player in Texans history and likely will find his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
