Quotes: Andre Johnson after Pro Bowl

AIEA, Hawaii -- After the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson spoke about his experiences in the game at Aloha Stadium and in Hawaii for the week.
WR Andre Johnson
(on what the experience was like for him overall) "It was great to be around the top guys in the game and just to hang out with them and learn about them football-wise. It was a great experience."

(on the intensity of the game compared to other Pro Bowls) "It was definitely up there. A lot of guys were playing pretty hard. Guys were into the game. It ranked up there with some of the games I've played."

(on what was it like having J.J. Watt in the offensive huddle) "It was actually funny. It was something they thought about doing earlier during the week and didn't know if they'd do it in the game or not. They actually did it early in the game. I thought they'd get him a touchdown but it didn't turn out that way."

(on what he thought about J.J. Watt's route-running) "(Laughs) It's not hard to mess up a fade route."

(on Green Bay Packers C Jeff Saturday snapping the ball to Peyton Manning) "Well, they spent a lot of time together and Jeff announced today he was retiring. To get his last snap with Peyton in the Pro Bowl, I think it was great moment and great for the fans to see."

(on getting to pick guys' brains like Peyton Manning) "Peyton's very intense, even though it's just the Pro Bowl, he's very intense at what he does. It just shows that's why he's the best at what he does."

(on how many snaps he had in the game with Matt Schaub) "It wasn't too many. I'm not sure, exactly. I was able to catch a pass from him."

(on what was it like spending a lot of time with his old college teammate, Indianapolis Colts WR Reggie Wayne) "It's a lot of fun. You get to be around guys you played college ball with. It never gets old. Being here never gets old. It was a great experience and I enjoyed every minute of it."

(on being at the Pro Bowl with eight of his teammates) "It was great. This is probably the best Pro Bowl out of all the ones I've been to just because of how many teammates I had come. It was a lot of fun."

(on his family traveling to the game) "My mom, my brother, my uncle and his family, they all came up. I had a great time."
