For the second consecutive offseason, Texas A&M alumnus Jerrod Johnson will remain as quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans after interviewing for multiple offensive coordinator jobs around the league.
This year Johnson interviewed for the Texans, Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets, respectively, before each team went forward with another candidate. Last year, Johnson participated in interviews with the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelersand Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Before suiting up for six NFL teams during his playing career, Johnson made history in College Station. When he graduated, the Houston native held two Texas A&M program records with the most yards passing (8,011) and total offensive yards (8,888) all-time. Kellen Mond now holds both records and Johnson is third in total yards behind Mond and Johnny Manziel.
Johnson got his start in coaching with the San Francisco 49ers in 2017 under the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. He served in the same position with the Indianapolis Colts in 2019 before being elevated to an offensive quality control coach for the next two seasons. Johnson served as assistant quarterbacks coach on the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 before being hired by Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans before the 2023 season.
Given the success of Ohio State alumnus CJ Stroud under the guidance of Johnson, the interviews will continue to roll in for the former Aggie.
