In 2007, the Detroit Lions made a wide receiver out of Georgia Tech the second overall selection in the first round of the NFL draft. 15 years later and that player has been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
On Saturday night, the NFL announced that former Lions’ wideout, Calvin Johnson, has been named to the Hall of Fame’s 2021 class at the ripe old age of 35.
The player lovingly nicknamed ‘Megatron’ racked up an incredible 731 receptions for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns in a short nine-year career with the Lions.
