Houston Texans All-Pro wide receiver Andre Johnson is entering his ninth professional season. Johnson is one of the top receivers in the NFL, making the Pro Bowl five times and twice leading the league in receiving yards.

The Miami native played his college ball at the University of Miami and was a member of the program's most recent BCS National Championship team.

Thursday, the Houston Texans were in Minneapolis to play the Vikings, in the final week of the preseason schedule. This ifollosports.com original photo shows Johnson hanging out with teammates in the lobby of the Radisson Plaza Hotel, in downtown Minneapolis.

Like most starters around the NFL, the superstar receiver sat out his team’s final preseason contest.

Johnson and the talented Texans are looking to finally make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, during 2011.

Houston hosts the Indianapolis Colts in the season opener on September 11.
