The New England Patriots contained Houston’s passing attack Sunday night. But newly-signed cornerback Leonard Johnson couldn’t contain himself.

Johnson joined the Patriots earlier this week after being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He attended three practices, according to MassLive.com, before getting slotted as the No. 3 cornerback against Houston.

He may have been a pleasant surprise for fans, but Johnson has always had a flare for the dramatic.

“I’m always like that,’’ Johnson told the Providence Journal.
