Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is known as one of the best offensive players on the field. Off the field, hes known for something else: Hes practically the living embodiment of Santa Claus. For the eighth consecutive year, Johnson has treated at-risk children from child protective services to a shopping spree at a local Toys R Us store. Johnson, who wears #80 on his jersey, gives the kids 80 seconds to run through the store and fill a shopping cart. Johnson said his uncle came up with the idea. “He was like, ‘Give ‘em 80 seconds to run through the store and let ‘em just get what they want.’ And I was like, ‘That’s not enough time.’ And he was like, ‘They can grab a lot,’ Johnson told the Houston Chronicle.

So we just rolled with it from there and we just kept doing it every year. Watch the video and read more ► huffingtonpost/2014/12/03/andre-johnson-shopping-spree_n_6259722.html
