Episode 55: Andre Johnson with John McClain

from Pod of Fame · host Jim Miloch

Jim is joined by Pro Football Hall of Fame Voter John McClain, who has covered the NFL for the Houston Chronicle for 45 years, to breakdown the hall of fame candidacy of former WR Andre Johnson. Jim and John first discuss the greatness Johnson sustained despite the lackluster roster of QBs he played with throughout his 14-year career (8:21). Next, they talk about the infamous beatdown of Cortland Finnegan, Michael Irvin comp, why Johnson only caught 70 touchdowns during his career, bloated receiver stats of today's NFL, and how rare Johnson having several 1500 receiving yard seasons really is (18:10). Finally, they discuss Johnson's limited postseason numbers compared to his contemporaries (44:04), before making a decision on whether or not Andre Johnson deserves to be in Canton (49:08). After the final verdict, John, who has been covering the NFL since the 1970s, reveals his NFL Mount Rushmore and also lists the top five quarterbacks he has ever seen (51:59).
