Dk needs to stop catching with his body and get softer hands he also needs to learn to hold on to footballs especially bullets also he need sto work on his route running
@Mason Williamson Yeah ik Matt was arguably top 5-10 range back then.. but I think his numbers woulda been better with Russ. Although he doesn’t have Staffs arm strength, there’s still no throw he can’t make & he way more accurate. If Megatron were on the Seahawks he woulda been in playoff contention every year with a better QB/Maybe he’d still be playing. Either way, I think Calvins more gifted, no slight to DK tho, he’s still tremendous.
6’5” 237lbs runs a 4.33 40 with a 43” vertical leap...11ft standing broad jump. His catch radius was insane, having a 6’10” wingspan. Megatron was something special and it’s cool to see he is in the marijuana business now.
You should find the sports science on Calvin. It’s insane to see how much of a freak he actually was. It’ll be hard to find someone like him. DK could maybe get there but Calvin is something else
Calvin "megatron" Johnson is an all time great and its sad that the Detroit Lions are what really made him retire. They made him hate football he wont even watch it. They did barry Sanders the same way
Agreed, but there is also the element that Calvin Johnson was such a big strong freak that the only way guys could tackle him was to chop his legs out from under him. His last few years in the game, he didn't practice at all. He was instead on the trainer's table getting his knees drained from all those hits. He even said, "I wanted to retire while I could still walk."
He actually got into the HOF this year. Not only was he worn down, he was also sick of the Lion's organization's poor management. Just like Barry Sanders before him.
"reminds me of Dk Metcalf" oh boy only if he knew. Calvin Johnson even though he retired waaaaay to early. Is arguably the greatest receiver of all time. Definitely a top 5
I think what he might be hinting at is the controversy between Jim Schwartz and DK Metcalf. Jim Schwartz was the Head Coach of the Lions for much of Calvin Johnson’s career. At some point after Calvin retired and Jim Schwartz was a Defensive Coordinator of another team, Jim Schwartz complimented DK Metcalf after the game. He personally told DK that he reminded him of Calvin and that if he continued to work on his game that he could be as great as Calvin was. Unbelievably, DK was offended by the compliment. And Jim Schwartz was offended that DK was offended
The Lions attempting to make thing better between Calvin lately is awesome. He's been around the team and stadium a bunch. 36 years of Lions fandom, Calvin was fucking special. Now he owns a bunch of weed farms out by me lol such a chill dude.
Speaking as a 40+ year Lions fan: when Calvin retired we were crushed, but not angry -- we understood. We'd been through it before with Barry. Being a Detroit fan was usually grim going, and that was as a fan -- can only guess at how grueling it must've been year after year as a player. The team was dismal year after year, no matter who was on the field, who was coaching, or who the GM was. Things have turned around since Sheila Ford Hamp has taken the helm as owner -- everything about the organization feels vibrant and alive, and Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell are a dynamite GM+head coach combination. I can't help but think that Calvin would've stuck around for at least a couple more years if the team was what it is today. Even so, Calvin is my #2 player of all time (#1 is, of course, Barry Sanders).
Fuck bro people don’t understand how good calvin was I remember when I was a kid and started watching football cause of my uncle and around the same time in middle I began playin football I randomly one day watched a cowboys vs lions game I think and was just. Mesmerized by Calvin Johnson since that day he was my football idol he’s MY greatest WR of all time he just did it all u can’t name someone else who was like 6’5 had flawless hands and ran a 4.35 40 that came in clutch time and time again without having a great qb he was the heart and soul of the lions offense and man I would’ve loved seeing him go elsewhere and win a chip he deserved that much at the minimum for what he gave to that trash organization man
Stafford is the best QB lions have had, and a lot of the league would have loved stafford. It was our ownership, that fucking sucks. Other than that, I agree 100%.
@@jackhightower2696 you're a delusional Seahawks fan. He isn't comparable to Calvin. Julio jones is more of a calvin then dk. You comment on everyone's comment meatriding dk.
@@jackhightower2696 nah he’s saying Julio is the 2nd most talented. They’re slightly different receivers but in terms of uncoverable receivers to have ever played megatron is 1 and Julio is 2 or honestly 1.b if you want
@@dc07932 jerry rice is the goat. In terms of talent megatron Julio and randy are better but jerry had the best career. Imo megatron is 1 but Julio and randy and a few others are in that little collection of people who could be considered the most talented and I wouldn’t argue against that too much.
@@themonsterc99 yeah I didn’t word my comment the best but basically the point I was making was Jerry Rice is the GOAT and undisputed best WR due to his hard work and determination, but if I’m looking strictly at their bodies and abilities and physical attributes Calvin Julio Moss are simply elite and probably the three best we’ve ever seen with DK flirting with joining them
DK is good for Calvin Johnson was great I had the luxury of watching him always scoring touchdowns on my Chicago Bears....who is only one corner in the league that actually matched up with him and that was Charles Tillman everyone else he torched them on a regular basis
Tyreke and DK not even near the same level as Megatron they both great players but Calvin wasn’t even human he was born to destroy defenders and crush dreams😭 u can game plan for those two guy they literally used to have 3 guys assigned to Calvin Johnson
DK doesn’t have the hands and doesn’t really break too much tackles like Calvin but he is faster than Calvin, I feel like Dk needs to work on his routes more and he’ll be a top 3 receiver in the league
Underrated? Dude is a first ballot Hall of Famer. There is no one underrating him. They know who he is and what he did. In his short time, I feel he is the best receiver ever. But for longevity sakes, it is still Rice.
Calvin Johnson is in a league of his own. He broke records people spend 15-20 yrs trying to do, in only 9 seasons and is one of 346 (ever) first ballot Hall of Famers. He is a machine and it will be a while before he is ever matched by someone else I feel. Just sucks he got stuck with the Lions in their shitty years.
Coming from a lions fan Calvin was the greatest of all time. Dk could be great but those are huge shoes to fill. I may be biased though. Lol. Losing stafford this season broke my heart. It’s like the lions can’t keep their stars happy because they can’t win
Great video man! But you wanna see a once in a lifetime talent… please react to the GOAT 🐐 the amazing Barry Sanders 50 greatest runs! Mind blown 🤯! Born and raised in Detroit my entire life… Barry Sanders is INCREDIBLE!
It was something special to watch Megatron play, just as it was to watch Barry Sanders run, unfortunately they both played for a team where ownership, and front office just don’t have a clue. Best thing the Alford Family can do is sell the team. I’ve lived in Michigan my whole life but like Calvin and Barry I just walked away from the team, it was so hard to watch talents like this just burned up and leave the game.
it’s barley Dks second year and was a top 10wr this year, he has much to learn but he isn’t close to Megatron. maybe he will be one day but right now not even close
Calvin Johnson is a completely differently player than DK. Calvin was a WR that was basically a 6’5 Tight End with world class speed and a Michael Jordanesque 42” vertical.
hey ... i dont think i've ever heard your name. They did a sports science on Calvin it's insane you should watch it. I don't know if it's worth a vid but still insane stats.
They started calling DK Metcalf Baby Megatron for a reason this year lol. They have a lot of similarities to their game as well as differences but Calvin Johnson aka Megatron is the Godfather of just unhumanlike physically gifted receivers of that size.
Statistically DK has thus far had better stats, but CJ was playing in a different time of the league where he had to have the size to just take the hits and make the catches. They’re very comparable with size and speed but CJ is better, in my opinion.
DK has room to grow and may end up as great as Rice and/or Megatron, but I haven't seen any receivers since Calvin that demand 3-4 defenders to cover them and still can produce with those odds. I'm just upset that Megatron wasted his career with the Lions.
Unfortunately Johnson and Barry Sanders another former lion great. Could have statistically been even greater but both retired early. As apposed to an Emmitt Smith who stayed playing specifically to reach certain stats. I'm probably a little biased because Barry was and is my favorite player ever. Barry actually retired before breaking his hero's record on purpose. They mentioned it once really quickly. Mentioned the only thing comparable was Barry Sanders. Ironically both from the same team.
Calvin Johnson was a god given breed and he worked hard for it that's why he was #2 overall pick in the draft and broke Jerry Rice receiving record so imo Calvin Johnson is way better than DK cause DK can't do what CJ did for a team that had a lot of losing seasons. CJ81 is the GOAT
Metcalf isn't Megatron, but Megatron will be the benchmark that Metcalf is always measured against. Maybe unfairly. The best argument for Calvin's dominance is the way he was covered by defenses. No one else really gets triple teamed ever. As a Lions fan myself, people don't blame Calvin for retiring. We're a bad team, we have like 1 playoff win in the super bowl era. And that's with him, and maybe an even better running back retiring early for the same reasons right before him. You should look at Barry Sanders highlights, he was just as dominant.
Dk is great. But calvin is an all time great. Dk isnt even close.
DK has only been in the league for 2 years give him 3 more and hes going to be up there with the all time greats if he stays healthy
Dk needs to stop catching with his body and get softer hands he also needs to learn to hold on to footballs especially bullets also he need sto work on his route running
...yet
And imagine if Calvin played in this era with Russell Wilson.. one of the best deep ball throwers ever.. DKs got a ways to go
@Mason Williamson Yeah ik Matt was arguably top 5-10 range back then.. but I think his numbers woulda been better with Russ.

They've started making amends with both, finally. Been good seeing them around the organization again
He actually got into the HOF this year. Not only was he worn down, he was also sick of the Lion's organization's poor management. Just like Barry Sanders before him.
I watched them both leave us in retirement 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
As a Seahawks fan, it pains me to say DK has a long way to go. He could get there. But megatron was immediately that way

Megatron played 10 years and was one of or the best in that time. Metcalf maybe able to get to that level though because he sure got the tools for it.
He only played 8 years
“He’s like cattle”
-unpauses video
“Calvin Johnson getting chased by 4 Cowboys!”

Dk always improves hella over the off-season he’ll get there no problem!
Fire videos!! Check out GRONK size speed injury’s monster still going. Best right end ever. Hits
What makes im this great is the fact hes the smoothest 6’5 ever
Best receiver of all time in my opinion especially in his prime
That video about steve smith Is amazing. You gotta watch that one.
Dk metcalf is gonna grow into a all time great and well remembered receiver, just like Calvin. But I think Calvin will go down as slightly better

Keep doin your thang
DK doesn’t come close to Calvin. Calvin is up there with the best
it’s barley Dks second year and was a top 10wr this year, he has much to learn but he isn’t close to Megatron. maybe he will be one day but right now not even close
What was your injury that you just recovered from, just wondering because I’m 5 months out from acl surgery.
sad to see the new video calvin just published where he said he was playing the last 3 seasons of his career with a soft left ankle
we miss you bro where’d you go :(
Calvin Johnson is the better receiver but DK definitely has that potential to be on Calvin's level
When I think of megaton I think Julio Jones Calvin is way better than dk
No no no Julio Jones is Julio Jones and Megatron is Megatron and Dk will be Dk.
Julio Jones tf lmao
Calvin is better coming from a big dk metcalf fan. Dk still has some improvement. But don’t get it fucked up. He’s improving at an insane rate
Bruh u gotta do tavon austin college highlights sheeeeeeshhhh dats all i gotta say
The most physically dominate receiver ever hands down not even close
Ok as a football fan I love DK he’s a young threat at the wide out but megatron is the greatest receiver to ever put on a pair of receiving gloves
No. Dk reminds us of calvin johnson
Like Barry Sanders would of been the best RB of all time if he didn't retire early.
My top 3 receivers are Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Megatron.
Running backs Barry Sanders and Walter Payton! Please check out these other players.
i like metcalf bro but calvin johnson was reovlutionary for his time playing for a losing organizaiton and still going crazy
He would still be playing if it wasn't for the lions they also ruined barry sanders career
Dk close to megaton? No chance
Watch the human joystick he’s electric
Dk just started to sip boyz
Calvin Johnson is a completely differently player than DK. Calvin was a WR that was basically a 6’5 Tight End with world class speed and a Michael Jordanesque 42” vertical.
Calvin is the monster u dont want to match up with hands down
Dk and Tarik Hill are not in the same conversation as Calvin Johnson, maybe Julio Jones.
In my opinion DK is one of the best receivers But Calvin Johnson is just built different so I’m I have to say Calvin Johnson
hey ... i dont think i've ever heard your name. They did a sports science on Calvin it's insane you should watch it. I don't know if it's worth a vid but still insane stats.

If calvin played a FULL career, and there would have never been a discussion for who is the best wr of all time. Calvin is the definition of DIFFERENT
MEGATRON
Calvin is the 2nd greatest reciever of all time, only after Randy Moss, and those 2 are head and shoulders above anyone else.
How he get more views than sub sub up man
DK reminds you of Megatron get it right brody
DK is nowhere near Calvin Johnson as of rn could he eventually be as great as Calvin.... yeah
That’s putting him top 3 receiver all time idk bro
Aaay dawg where you from? If you don’t mind me asking.
@ 10:23 why the tree move?
Calvin is one of the greatest of all time dk is now where near his level if where talking about now !
Top 5 WR of all time. If he didn't get hurt or play for the Lions, he'd be No. 1 or 2.
Megatron best wr to ever play the game hands down
Dk isn’t even close
Megatron is the original, DK has to live up and surpass! He has the potential. We have to wait and see.
yeah Megatron by far was one of the greatest wide outs to come out of college just lions couldn't ever actually do anything with it
Calvin Johnson hands down
You godda watch bam bam kam (kam Chancellor)
Calvin hands down
Statistically DK has thus far had better stats, but CJ was playing in a different time of the league where he had to have the size to just take the hits and make the catches. They’re very comparable with size and speed but CJ is better, in my opinion.

Dk shouldn’t remind you of calvin, Calvin should remind you of an all time great
Megatron is head and shoulders above any receiver in world history
Dk has the chance to be in megatrons league, but hes got alot of ground to cover till that happens
IMO, leaving statistics out of it, only going by raw talent.. the real question is who's better: Megatron, Moss, or Rice.
Calvin all day
Cant even compare them yet, megatrons in everyone top5 receivers
You gotta do Julio Jones
Metcalf isn't Megatron, but Megatron will be the benchmark that Metcalf is always measured against. Maybe unfairly. The best argument for Calvin's dominance is the way he was covered by defenses. No one else really gets triple teamed ever.
