WATCH: Andre Johnson finds out he’s made the Hall of Fame

Every potential Pro Football Hall of Famer awaits the famous knock. It’s the moment they find out they’ve been voted into the Hall and forever enshrined in football glory.

Former Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson got that knock before it was announced he was in the Hall of Fame. And it was delivered by none other than Cris Carter.

Johnson burst into tears when he saw Carter’s gold jacket through the translucent glass door before Carter welcomed him into the elite football brotherhood.

“We want to welcome you to football heaven,” Carter said.

Johnson had an illustrious career in the NFL – mostly with the Texans. He made seven Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams during his 12 years in Houston and finished his career with 1,062 receptions for 14,185 yards and 70 touchdowns.

He’s also one of only five receivers with at least 1,500 receiving yards in three or more individual seasons.

Johnson filled up the stat sheet during his 14-year career and now he’s the first Texans player to make the Hall of Fame.
