My kid just found this video. Pretty cool. Andre Johnson clearly wishes the Texans would have drafted VY, too. He talks about how people were wearing VY Texans jerseys. Just from that angle alone, it was stupid for the Texans to pass on VY. They would have created a never-ending revenue stream of VY apparel sales. Hell, they'd have sold out the whole place with season tickets, too. He also talks about how Texans fans reacted to VY when he beat them in their own stadium with that OT run. I was there. It was insane.

Go to 1:18.

He could have been a monster somewhere he was wanted. The OT run was the only time I’ve seen him look like he was running as hard as he could.

How old was that interview? Looked like Andre Johnson was using damn AOL discs for his video chat.

Yeah that bold bit is how I've described it as well. And yeah, had he gone somewhere where they wanted him, knew what they had in him, and knew how to exploit his talents, he'd have re-written everything. I still maintain that he changed the way the QB position is played at every level.   Too bad he was never allowed to do then what NFL QBs are doing every weekend now. In the history of the NFL, there may be an example of a coach actively wasting a bigger talent than Fisher did with VY, but I sure can't think of one.

No idea what year the interview is from, but it was posted 2 years ago.

Look at my picture.  My friend and I who are in it looked at each other open-mouthed after watching him break a long run for a score  right up that sideline.  We knew we had never seen a player like VY.

I was sitting with friends who weren't Texas fans in the end zone section at the Michigan Rose Bowl game when Vince dropped back and a hole suddenly developed in the middle of the line.  "Touchdown," I said without thinking, because it was inevitable. My buddies lost their minds, thinking I could predict the future, when Vince sprinted through and scored a second later.

Vince kinda ruined going to games for me.  

I got to see him beat Michigan and then win the Natty the very next year.  Two amazing trips to Pasadena in back-to-back years.  How do you top that?  My football watching life peaked when I was 21 years old.

Yep.  Same for me except I was a bit older than you.  Went to all 2005 home games, OU, Big 12 championship, and the 2006 Rose Bowl that season.  I seriously wondered what the point in getting season tickets for the upcoming years was.  I'd never see a season and an NC game like that again.
