Detroit Lions’ legend Calvin Johnson has had some negative headlines since retiring

It is without a doubt that wide receiver Calvin Johnson is possibly the second greatest Detroit Lions player to ever put on the Honolulu blue, behind only Legend and Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders. Johnson was loved by all Lions fans for all of his incredible highlights and unbelievable catches.

Just a simple laid back Georgia kid that retired in 2016 still holding Detroit Lions franchise records with 731 receptions, 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns.
