Calvin Johnson gave me a scholarship to go to school through his foundation. His family and he were absolutely classy people. Some of the most awesome people I’ve ever met. Thank you again brother!!

Prior to his birth Calvin’s parents were my next door neighbors in College Park. His pop’s and I would engage in games of chess as he waited to be called for a railroad assignment. A great and respected family would be an understatement.

Calvin Johnson is the best receiver I've ever had the chance to watch. I have a vivid memory of waking up on a cold, snowy morning near Chicago, Illinois and watching the Lions on a snowy Sunday afternoon. Watching Calvin go up, grab that ball and come down get a facemask full of snow is something I'll never forget. One of my favorite moments ever. And it was just a normal play for Calvin. Legend.

It was against the eagles. I was there. I remember watching him shake his head and told my girl “I think this is it for him 😞”

This conversation, was soo relaxing, and inspiring! His mom, sent him to his sister, in college, on the weekends, to tutor him. Wow!

Channing in his element with the Atlanta connection! I’ll never forget seeing Calvin rock that #21 at GA Tech with the visors!! Constant highlights

Calvin is hands down one of my favorite NFL players. His game preparation and attention to detail set the standard for all NFL players. His humility is a testament to the amazing human being he is. I truly wish he would have gotten the opportunity to play for a team that was a championship contender. Through all of the team disappointments he still managed to define what a true TEAM player is. Thanks to the Pivot team for another awesome conversation. ❤🙏🏾

Channing's laughter is infectious and the Pivot deep dives into who that person is in facets other than sports. Their growth❤❤❤

Megatron is forever etched as one of the goats of all time. Imagine him on a contender each season. He would’ve put up even crazier numbers. Salute to you Calvin! 🙏

This man is a legend. He got double teamed his entire career and still put up crazy numbers. I get why he walked away when he did. Respect ✊🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

Was so fun to watch him here in detroit, wish he couldve had a playoff run he def did everything he could to get wins. Class act and better person off the field too y hes still so loved here in the D

Thank you for this one as a detroiter seeing Calvin for years gave Detroit hope this a good one for sure well needed

Ryan kills me! He’s like an ex pimp turned preacher struggling not to curse and indulge in the old life 😂! Freddie T real smooth like he still got a cartel 🔌

Amon Ra is that next master of consistency just as Calvin said, Love my Lions,

CJ IS SO SMART AND REASONABLE AND CONFIDENT IN HIS OWN SKIN. his accomplishments are what you can achieve when overcoming insecurities and low self esteem seems like just a good decent person

Calvin Johnson is amazing man. Love how he talked about waiting for marriage and family until after playing because he wanted to keep all buckets full. Love this pod, keep doing great things!

Detroit retired 2 HOF because of losing . We watched Megaton but didn't realise he was the best because we didn't think teams played hard against them . But w/ Matt at QB, it was an unstoppable combo . He looks like he can still play !

Megatron...Thank you for sharing your "accepting Christ" experience. That was awesome. 😎

so glad calvin and the lions FINALLY got back on the same page

If you had Calvin …. Now you HAVE to bring Bam Bam Kam

GOAT! Calvin is where my love for the Lions and Football started. One man show, I will never forget watching his legendary performance against the Cowboys live.

My Megatron story is at a training camp in 2014. My son was in line for an autgraph session. He walked out w Slay & Mathis prior to practice, so was so geeked and happy w how cool they were. Well, behind us in line, was a kid w down syndrome. Calvin, Stafford, Bush, Dan O, etc, were going to a corporate tent to sign autographs and take pictures. Calvin actually walked over to the kid behind us w down syndrome and started signing stuff for this kid. He ghosted everyone else, but still, the character he has to do that. That was amazing. Megatron has a heart of gold.

With all the fame he still so so humble shout out to his parents for raising such a humble and kind soul thanks King for all the great memories as a fan of the game keep doing great things King.

Shawne Lights out Merriman. A Charger that gave us hope again on the defensive side. Had the best Sack Dance in NFL history.

You guys are the best interviewers in getting your guest to their story. Great job guys!👍

Tron will forever be that Guy and it don't matter who your team is. This interview confirmed what I think everyone already knew when you spoke about him which is he's a good person and played the way he lived hard working and humble. LEGENDARY 🎤👊🏼✊🏼💯

Why isn't the pivot at a million subscribers Yet?????? Come on!

Channing always look like he just did something

I think Magic is the best nickname of Al time, it’s so great you dam near forget his name is Ervin.

I love that y'all got Calvin on Great Episode

This was a great interview! 🔥

Been waiting on this one for a MIN 👏🏾👏🏾

Reggie Bush next he just got his Heisman trophy back would be a great interview.

Great interview. I really enjoyed this one!

That calvin johnson, tashard choice and reggie ball is what got me interested in football and dj shockley and thomas brown a muhammad massoquoi

Megatron let's get it

Always liked the way this guy balled out. Now to see a different more personal side of him is even more awesome! Legend all around 👏🏼

I AM MEGATRON! Great interview. The Pivot never disappoints!

Megatron greatest nickname ever!!! Calvin Johnson was freaking unguardable!!!

I know Jerry hold the record for stats and rings but if I'm starting a team the first WR I'm picking is Megatron. You put him in Jerry spot on the 49ers and they winning eight straight super bowls.

Mannn gonna rewatch some Megatron highlights oui....GREATNESS

I won back to back in fantasy because of Megatron 😆 dude was different

The up and down with Fred's audio was the only knock on this one.. GREAT EPISODE!! Even though as a Chicagoan I couldn't stand Megatron!!!

Would love to get on and tell my story about mental health and winning! Been watching you guys for so long I’m in Nebraska!

If I could pick ONE WR for one game for my life it would be Megatron in his prime. Jerry, Randy, TO, all had better careers, but in his absolute prime, Calvin Johnson was the best I ever saw. Unstoppable.

Haha you know nothing of what you speak. That so-called one game for your life is called the Super Bowl. Jerry Rice played in 4 Super Bowls. He had 33 catches 589 yards and 8 touchdowns. That’s an average of 8 catches 147 yards and 2 touchdowns per Super Bowl. Rice had 3 touchdowns in two separate Super Bowl appearances. Jerry Rice has a 215 yard receiving game in a Super Bowl. He had over 10 catches in two separate Super Bowls. He had over 148 yards receiving in 3 separate Super Bowls. There is simply no receiver comparable that you can measure to Jerry Rice.

For all the people that has never ski or snowboard before, the best way to learn is to start on the highest slope. Dont start off on the bunny slopes. At least for snowboarding anyways.

MEGATRON…..All around awesome guy

The greatest WR to ever play the game. As a kid growing up in Detroit. Going to training camps I never seen him lose a rep. It’s not a DB in NFL history that can cover him 1 on 1. He has the highest probability of making a catch of any player in history. God is fair because like Barry can you imagine him on a different team. Jesus Christ.

Megatron seems to be a very likeable guy! HOF well deserved!

We need to see Darren McFadden

My favorite player man I miss Megatron
