@UFOsAreRealArea51 Were your feelings hurt because I didn't mention your boy? Reed was definitely a top-notch receiver but, he was not even at the same level of strength and dominant physicality as those two. Fitzgerald was 20+lbs heavier, an inch taller, while Megatron was 40-45+lbs and 3-inches taller. Defenders would fall-off them like banana-peels in traffic. Nice try though!
@@KL-xe5ecI didn't. He made it easy bc everybody going to force passes. Only takes one bad play to lose. Tillman shut him and moss down if you knew how to use bears
I like Pac-Man Jones lol. No homo, but it's the lore to the name that makes it good lol. The reason I say "no homo" because the video game Pac-Man it's every ball that's in his vicinity, hence how Pac-Man Jones got the nickname. He was pretty much in a sense eating every ball that was thrown in his vicinity lol.
Vernon Davis ran a 4.38 at 240lbs at the combine. That same combine Sinorice Moss ran the same exact time at the combine and he was 180lbs. Its possible to be that big and still run that fast. CJ was a legit beast
All I know is we as Lions fans were beyond blessed to have a great player and a great person to represent what we are about. Thank you Calvin "Megatron" Johnson!!
Barry Samders and Calvin Johnson are two players who I can watch the same highlights of hundreds of times and never get tired of. Calvin Johnson would be triple teamed and still be open because he was just that tall and that fast. You could never stop him from catching the ball, you could only try and stop him from getting the touchdown. And Barry Sanders was the best guy on a last place team. He would get the handoff and immediately there were 4 opposing players in the backfield. Barry would juke, spin, hurdle, stiff arm and smash through defenders only to come up losing a yard. But it was the prettiest yard you ever saw lost. I wish he played longer, he was a joy to watch play the game.

I wanted to see Calvin play for a real team for a few years during his career. Detroit was trash, but Calvin Johnson was great. I remember him during his time in highschool at Sandy Creek, then at Georgia Tech, he played the game without controversy and remained humble, yet dominant.
Moss played with a hof wr Chris Carter u couldn't put all the attention on Moss Megatron played with nobody and tripled team and still got crazy numbers
Just because he retired early doesn't make moss better 😂and moss was average for like 4 years until Brady saved him there isn't a more physically dominant receiver than Megatron
Him and Stafford will go down as one of the greatest duos in nfl history they were made to play with each other stafford had and arm that could get the ball anywhere Calvin was open on the field nearly unstoppable even with three guys on him
Calvin Johnson is living proof that NOT all men were created equal. Lmao. An actual superhuman athlete who just also happens to be more intelligent than the vast majority of the human race and on top of all of it is a standup human being. One of the greatest players the game has ever seen. Appreciative to have witnessed all of his greatness.
Calvin was a menace. That blacked out visor was a different animal. As a detroiter, i feel bad for him and Barry Sanders. Two of the best to ever play the game and had to play for possibly the worst run sports franchise of all time
The cleat thing worked in his favor. I remember watching the telecast and the hype was insane, it looked like decided last minute to run and blazed a 4.35
Just an unstoppable player. Like Barry, it is too bad the Lions could never put together a competitive team. His playoff highlights would have been incredible. But as long as he is satisfied and healthy, that is all that matters.
Chess not being able to finish his line because of everyone laughing was the most wholesome URL moment ever. Only Charlie can bring that energy to a battle. He makes it feel like it’s just as much clowning at the lunch table as it is rap.

Loaned out his cleats to a dude on his own biggest interview day. I've given the shirt off my back... on an off day from work 😅 God Bless him 🙏
To be fair, it is a correct assumption that one’s body/ankles won’t be able hold that weight/frame over a long grueling NFL season.
Turned out to be true somewhat...he always had injury issues and retired early from them but he was one of the best when healthy
Calvin Johnson AKA MEGATRON 💯💯💯
Moss redefined all
Not Jerry rice
I wanted to see Calvin play for a real team for a few years during his career. Detroit was trash, but Calvin Johnson was great. I remember him during his time in highschool at Sandy Creek, then at Georgia Tech, he played the game without controversy and remained humble, yet dominant.
Goat end of conversation
Nope, .Jerry Rice
@@tonyfort1041 you smoking that shit
TRULY A GREAT PLAYER AND A GOOD MAN . LOOK CLOSELY YOUNG MEN THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT..😊
CJ all day
D’t 4get bout Herman Moore…Danville, Va
Babbbbyyy..!.!.!
Love Calvin Johnson/Megatron. One of the best to ever play and a super kind and humble person.
That’s 1 and 2 man. moss all days but Calvin that 🥷
You may want to compare Jery Rice and there numbers combined probably dont equal Jerry!
@@hershelheilig2278Jerry played a 1000 seasons bruh
Dude was a joy to watch! Thank you!
Underrated for sure sure ....Megatron suppose to have a ring
But the lions
DETROIT VS EVERYBODY
Since i started watching football hes definitely the best WR I've watched play he was a bad mf
The fact that him and Barry still rep the D makes me so happy. We literally don’t deserve them, but I’m glad they stuck around.
Not even close randy moss
How’s it not close?
Moss played with a hof wr Chris Carter u couldn't put all the attention on Moss Megatron played with nobody and tripled team and still got crazy numbers
You sound like a straight hater!
Just because he retired early doesn't make moss better 😂and moss was average for like 4 years until Brady saved him there isn't a more physically dominant receiver than Megatron
@@ReUpGrimaverage ? This conversation is over
This guy by far was the best WR to ever play football he was doubled and tripled, covered his whole entire career and steel mossed all day long
Him and Stafford will go down as one of the greatest duos in nfl history they were made to play with each other stafford had and arm that could get the ball anywhere Calvin was open on the field nearly unstoppable even with three guys on him
That dark visor was a trade mark for I'm about to unleash a can of whip ass.😂😂😂😂
Was fun watching him vs Peanut Tillman 🤙🏽one of the best receivers to ever do it
Wish he hadn’t run. He was one pick away from being a Tampa Bay Buccaneer. What a career though. Dude was a MONSTER!
Both. We'll never lose! Shoot, ...i could be quarterback!!! And we are ZNOT gonna be running the ball...except on ends around!
I've never really hear him talk before. But this guy is the Prototype NFL WR.
I've been a lions fan my whole life, megatron was amazing to watch.
Calvin Johnson is living proof that NOT all men were created equal. Lmao. An actual superhuman athlete who just also happens to be more intelligent than the vast majority of the human race and on top of all of it is a standup human being. One of the greatest players the game has ever seen. Appreciative to have witnessed all of his greatness.
That's my fantasy wr 😢😢😢😢😢.
He is surely missed in Fantasy football.
The guy that has the best nickname in the business Megatron 💪🏾
Imagine Owens with Moss's hands...This is what you get
Calvin was a menace. That blacked out visor was a different animal. As a detroiter, i feel bad for him and Barry Sanders. Two of the best to ever play the game and had to play for possibly the worst run sports franchise of all time
Calvin Johnson is the most physically incredible WR ever. Send the whole team after him, he still gets the ball.
The cleat thing worked in his favor. I remember watching the telecast and the hype was insane, it looked like decided last minute to run and blazed a 4.35
And that's how a legend was started
Just an unstoppable player. Like Barry, it is too bad the Lions could never put together a competitive team. His playoff highlights would have been incredible. But as long as he is satisfied and healthy, that is all that matters.
Chess not being able to finish his line because of everyone laughing was the most wholesome URL moment ever.
Only Charlie can bring that energy to a battle. He makes it feel like it’s just as much clowning at the lunch table as it is rap.
Calvin and Andre Johnson, my two favorite receivers all time. May not be on everyones list but those two always got it done.
Calvin seems like he's doing well. So happy for him getting out before his body broke. He was a bad man on the field...
I worked at Georgia Tech for 3yrs in the athletic department. Really cool talented young man
1.Rice 2.Moss 3 Megatron 4.Hill 5.Carter
Hard to argue with that.
aye he was fkn my Bears up in them highlights damn 😂😂😂
The Lions Organization/Ownership made two of the Greatest Football Players of All-time Retire Early(i don't care what nobody says not even them cuz We know the Deal) yet they still give such Classy reasons why, which speaks to their Top notch character. I'm still salty about it!😂...but what makes both of them Extra Supreme Cool, is they still show so much Love to the City, Other Sports teams the Fans & People in general from the "D"...Hats Off To Megatron & Barry all-day every-day no doubt!💯💙💪🏿✊🏿✌🏿😎
In his prime he was easily one of the most dominant football players ever. He absolutely torched my Vikings every time we played the Lions🤣
It's weird how pro sports full of freaks to begin with can have an absolute freak of nature like this still. Like everyone's already a physical specimen and then you have someone like Megatron come along, crazy athlete and a seemingly cool dude.
This man was so good bruh 🤙🏾
I was just looking at his combine numbers and his physical traits are so crazy that people ignore his Wonderlic, it's 41, higher than most QBs. Big brain on Megatron.
