ARLINGTON -- Backpedaling and swiveling his hips, Texans rookie cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. caught up to the throw and broke up a potential touchdown pass in the back of the end zone.
The second-round draft pick from Kentucky had his best performance of the preseason.
After allowing a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers, Johnson didn't play in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions. On Saturday night against the Dallas Cowboys, Johnson broke up two passes.
At 6-2, 213 pounds with 4.38 speed in the 40-yard dash, Johnson represents the physical prototype for the position.
