Texans Rookie Cornerback Kicked Out of Joint Practice for Going Too Hard

Bill O'Brien can go into this season knowing he has a young cornerback who wants to tackle.

Maybe, a little too much though.

Rookie Lonnie Johnson Jr. was ready to hit anybody Monday and show he belongs on the field at the highest level. The problem? It was practice and nobody else was going as hard as the second-round pick out of Kentucky because it was a non-tackle portion of practice.

In a joint practice with the Packers, the Texans rookie decided to show off just how aggressive he can be on defense and level some hits on Green Bay receivers.
