The Houston Texans have set social media buzzing with their latest Instagram post featuring their new draft pick, Jayden Higgins. The wide receiver, fresh out of the 2025 NFL Draft, is already endearing himself to Texans fans by giving a nod to franchise legend Andre Johnson, whom he named as one of his top five wide receivers of all time.
The Texans shared the moment on Instagram with the caption “@chill.j5 already knows 😌,” showing their approval of Higgins’ admiration for Johnson. The post quickly gained traction among fans, who were thrilled to see the rookie recognizing one of the most dominant receivers in NFL history.
Andre Johnson, a seven-time Pro Bowler and the Texans’ all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, has long been a symbol of greatness in Houston football.

This subtle yet meaningful interaction highlights not just the potential of the young player but also the culture of legacy and pride that continues to shape the Texans’ locker room.
