Detroit Lions: Calvin Johnson living up to villainous nickname

This will not be the popular opinion among Detroit Lions fans, but wide receiver Calvin Johnson has lost his luster. As a player, it was easy to cheer for Calvin on Sundays because he was a dynamic presence.

Off the field, during his playing career, Johnson always carried himself with the utmost professionalism. When he gave answers, they were thoughtful and showed a real respect for the game. But since retirement, Johnson’s attitude has shifted to blaming the Lions for losing, and not wanting anything to do with the franchise.

Johnson’s issues with Detroit are not unfathomable.
