Houstonist Player of the Year: Andre Johnson

This one was an easy choice. Andre Johnson was without a doubt one of the best players in the NFL this year.

Johnson led all NFL receivers with 115 receptions and 1,575 yards and he was voted to his third Pro Bowl last month, his second as a starter. He had eight games with 100 or more receiving yards and he is the only player in NFL history have 10 or more catches in seven games in a season.

Johnson's finest game of the '08 campaign came against the hated Tennessee Titans in Week 13. In that game, Johnson had a career day with 207 receiving yards to go along with 11 catches and a touchdown which help beat the Titans 13-12.

Johnson, without a doubt, will have a place on this year's NFL All-Pro team.
