And now, today’s Forgotten Texans Draft Pick…
KEVIN JOHNSON:
The Houston Texans selected Wake Forest CB Kevin Johnson with their first-round pick (16th overall) in the 2015 NFL draft. He was selected just ahead of DE Arik Armstead and CB Marcus Peters, which is pretty hilarious in retrospect. Johnson had a promising rookie campaign as our third CB behind Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson, but then he broke his foot in the 2016 season leading to the emergence of A.J. Bouye. Johnson got injured again in 2017, missing several games with a sprained MCL, and in 2018 he went on IR with a concussion. After the Texans released him on March 5, 2019, he bounced around with a few other teams until finally retiring on June 4, 2021.
