By Yoni Pollak

Everyone knows the impact of Andre Johnson on the field. The All-Pro wide receiver holds several NFL records and is likely on his way to the NFL Hall Of Fame as well.

Congrats Johnson, and keep doing what you do best both on and off the field! Check out the rest of the links for more.
