Here's Johnson holding $17,352 worth of receipts at Houston's Toys R' Us yesterday.

Every year since Johnson's rookie season in 2003, the Andre Johnson Foundation has brought 8-16 year-olds on all-out shopping sprees at Toys R' Us.

Last year, Johnson spent $19,000 on the shopping spree. Johnson has said the he hopes the event's publicity will bring awareness to issues orphaned children and single parents face.

I mean, can you imagine an 80-second free-for-all at Toys R' Us at the expense of an NFL player?

You're the man, Andre.
