SportsRadio 610 host and former Texans WR, Cecil Shorts III, breaks down how Johnson will improve the Texans offense. 

Heres a breakdown on a few ways I feel like Duke Johnson will be used in the @HoustonTexans Offense. It’s all about the matchup, O Brien will find ways to get him on a LB or safety and take advantage. He’s a legit route runner and can make plays anywhere on field#CS3filmstudy pic.twitter.com/xP29kumrTw
