Exactly. Plus, if Megatron knew about the process, he wouldn't have landed like that, letting the ball hit the ground like that. But I'm a Lions fan, so that was far from the first time I lost confidence in the refs.

The definition of a catch today is a lot better than 15 years ago.

From all of us in Detroit, thanks for the memories, Mr Megatron Johnson

Get this kid, not only one of the greatest receivers ever, but one of the greatest running backs ever, played for Detroit. Neither got close to a Superbowl.

Stop rhyming I mean it…….anybody want a peanut?

Signature catch was when he was in college and he dove full body parallel to the ground with a 1 hand grab. That catch will live on as one of the greatest catches I've ever seen in the history of football. Not 1 other WR could have made that catch.

Most complete WR ever. 6’5” 240 running a 4.3 and could block with the best of them and run through tackles. And his leaping ability? Forget about it. He had no weaknesses. So glad I got to grow up watching him on Sundays. Even tho I’m a die hard giants fan the lions are my home town team and Calvin’s royalty around these parts.

This is everything great about the game of football. Legends telling their stories with world-class production behind it.

There is no other player in this league or history that can resemble Megatron. No matter how bad the lions were, Megatron WILL catch the rock over ANYONE 😤 There is no other dominate receiver that can go up and grab the rock like Megatron. I’m PROUD to call myself a Detroit Lions fan and have a legend like Megatron that once ruled the skies on my team 😤 No matter if it was a “early retirement” he went through hell and back every week to become the greatest of all time. Thank you Megatron for the fun times that you gave me and my dad and the city of Detroit.

The most UNSTOPPABLE Wide Receiver in NFL History. Hands ✋️ DoWn 💯 📖

The ting people forget is Stafford and Calvin never played with each other in their prime. When Calvin was in his prime Stafford was young and injured a lot. Stafford's prime was around 2016-2023.

peyton and calvin were my favorite players outside of my team, cool to see this.

Peyton Manning makes some wholesome content, I love these Omaha videos

finally got to try Primitiv yesterday. Sooo happy the Lions mended fences, hope they send calvin and barry and spielman some sorta ring for their involvement with the team WHEN we win the Super Bowl, and elated that Megatron kept his home and business in his home state. We love you brother, forever. Sincerely, all of Michigan.

Had the most god given talent in one body for a wide receiver. Loved watching him play every Sunday. U just KNEW he was going for at least 130 yds every game in his prime.

Detroit Lions fans are an odd lot. On one hand, they've suffered through decades of ineptitude. But on the other hand, they've gotten to watch two of the greatest athletes (Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson) play their entire careers with their team. Blessed and cursed at the same time.

So cool 😮

Look forward to seeing Marshall in the NFL

I’m a broncos fan, and I see a lot of megatron in Sutton. He’s not as fast as megatron, but still 6’4 and can high point that ball like that, has the same hands and catches. Very underrated

As a Packers fan, Megatron has always been my favorite WR.

I remember watching him tear up my Eagles for like 3 TDs on 3 different corners. Literally nobody could stop this dude. Insane!

Man he needs to play for one more season 😭 just once more plz 😭

Looks like it time to watch Sport Science: Calvin Johnson again.

Very well done 👏 ✔️

I love transformers and football the deception reference was amazing

For me it’s the pass that made him a household name at Georgia Tech when the ball was thrown like 3 yards behind him and he just one handed it. Absolutely insane
