Houston Texans great Andre Johnson will be on the spotlight over the next few days. Tonight the team plays in the annual Hall of Fame game against the Chicago Bears, kicking off the NFL's 2024 preseason schedule. Then on Saturday night Johnson will be offiically inducted into the Hall of Fame in Canton.

Johnson has been busy making the rounds all week, including a stop by Minute Maid Park to throw out the first pitch at an Astros game. There he got to meet 50 cent, who was born in New York but now calls Houston home. When the local Fox station caught up with him, Dre had some jokes about not needing to take advice from the hip hop mogul about throwing out the first pitch, as 50 might have thrown out the worst firt pitch of all time. Watch.

Johnson will be the last Hall of Famer to speak during the induction ceremony on Saturday night.
