Them, the Browns and Chargers. So many gifted athletes have wasted years with these organizations. Barry Sanders would have just retired with untouchable numbers had he been on the Patriots or Steelers, even Denver. You know, organizations owned by lovers of the game and a drive for a championship, rather than a profit from a game where a championship is cool but a steady profit revenue each year is just fine.

@Shawn Kemp Owens>Megatron>A.B. Str8 🆙 Now in terms of talent then give Megatron the nod over Owens. But T.O. never gets the credit for being as hard of a worker as he was and his ability to run all routes and block as a WR. Even though he does get shown some love TO is still the most underrated WR in my opinion.
Peter Harrington I’m a saints fan. A die hard one at that but mike ain got nun on calvins freak of nature abilities. Julio is just a baby megaton straight up and d hop isn’t close to calvin
Wow, really impressed with Calvin and his parents for sticking with Georgia Tech. It's a great school with a rigorous curriculum. Him going through it shows both smarts and discipline.
Came across this Channel a month ago. Never been let down. Always a positive note and open mind while keeping the facts straight without bias. Love it. Keep it up @Flemlo Raps
Good presentation! You had me talking to the screen, laughing and even yelling “Amen”! It takes talent to put these videos together, and you’ve got that.
Barry sanders made the playoffs 6 out of his 10 years in the NFL....they had the #1 offense in the NFL too.....Barry's game was best suited for that indoor turf n their run n shoot offense....the minute it stepped outdoors playoffs in the the NFC elements he wasn't effective....but the lions were not bad as people try to make it out while he was there
Just discovered your videos, as a sports fan and documentary/film fan...they are friggin awesome, inspirational, emotional, and just flat out enjoyable. Good job and thanks dude...
This is how I KNOW you got GREAT material. I found your channel 2-3 days ago and I’ve watched almost all your videos about what happened to and your other ones I got a bunch left but you have GREAT material
@500thou 1. MLB is a cake walk, compared to the brutal NFL (he wouldn't have had a fraction of those injuries, in baseball). 2. He would've had a ridiculous contract in the MLB (no salary cap). 3. Given the first two points, his career likely would've been twice as long in the MLB.
Sola Scriptura The MLB is way more difficult to get a starting position where you can grab a contract like that. In my opinion probably the hardest routes of any sport. I don't think we would know of Megatron if Calvin went the baseball route.
This dude was one of the 2 most talented WR's i've ever seen, along with Randy Moss. Megatron deserved better, but football aside i'm glad he's out and happy.
One of the best I’ve ever witnessed as a bengals fan has to be Steve smith...he was a monster and just the most clutch receiver I’ve witnessed keep in mind I’m only 18 so I’ve been watching football maybe 6-7 years
@@Infernomm I'm actually a carolina panther season ticket holder since 99. steve smith is my favorite NFL player of all time, he fought harder than anyone i've ever seen... but he wasn't on the talent level of Randy Moss of Megatron... if Steve Smith was as big, and talented as them... he'd have every record
Mike Evans with a couple horrid QBs and one QB who could be elite if he could kill the turnovers has the same if not better stats than Moss in his first 6 seasons.... Mike Evans is the most underrated Elite receiver in the league next to MT.... But seeing how Evans has been sharing catches most of his career to a substantial point it's impressive. Jameis has two dudes over 1k receiving right now just imagine if they didn't turn the ball over so much. Evans is no Moss or Megatron but dude deserves more than he gets in the league.

looked up to Calvin throughout my childhood. the main thing that caught my eye was that no matter how bad your team is, you always show up and give it 110% no matter your teammates play. you’re on the field for what you’ve worked for your ENTIRE life. this was the sport that you were born to do. Johnson always had that motor. Furthermore, the Guy kept it lowkey off the field, his humble personality is admirable

If raggedy ass Michael Irvin is in, ANYBODY who ever caught a pass in the NFL, should be in the H.O.F. He couldn't hold Megatron's (DIRTY) jock strap! On his BEST day!
Georgia Tech’s head coach at the time was Chan Gailey who ran a pro style office not the triple option. Paul Johnson was hired at the end of 2008 a full season after Calvin left for the draft
Honestly I think way more players should take a year break when they are 28-31. Like just sit out a season. I'm a vikings fans and so many of our vets have prolonged their career by 4-5 years just resting their bodies and preventing the injury. Or look at basketball with Michael Jordan's 2 year break. People dont realize how bad pro sports are for your body. My brother isnt going to take a college football scholarship because he isnt nearly NFL good and doesnt want to ruin his legs
I have been watching for quite some time. Very informative, you state the facts. You site your sources. Because of that I recently subscribed to your channel. I pray 🙏 and wish you all the best 🙂 Flem Lo.
Calvin Johnson and Joe Thomas are my two favorite players in the 21st century. Two guys that just went out and gave everything to the sport they loved. Thanks for the awesome videos as always, FlemLo. And we may be 0-11 but it's still Who Dey, Every Dey.
Dude! your a rightous narrator, explaining a course thorough history , Megatron was nothing short than dominating, we miss him , thankyou for everything we witnessed , we love you and have fond memories of you .
@@damiancorrea9514 Just so you know Roman was a budding star in college on defense. He had to quit football because he had lukeimia & almost died. He beat it after treatments for a few years. After 11 years free of it, it came back & he had to give up the title. He beat it again & is wrestling again. No doubt it will come back a 3rd time but to go thru what he has gone thru the guy is amazing.
DrogbaLegend fun fact: Wrestlers is a waaay more physical sport than football (I’m not talking about fake wrestling like WWE) Also real AND fake wrestlers get payed more than your bummy ass
Same thing that happened to Barry Sanders. 1 playoff win since 1957. Our QB is 6-46 against winning teams but has a $135,000,000 contract. Our defense is ranked #30. They’re owned by the Fords. The Detroit Lions is what happened to Megatron. He turned down $15 million dollars to never play there again. Enough said
Ryan Williams 6-46 against winning teams is a top 10 QB? He’s played good for 2.5 seasons. The rest were toss ups to QB’s or Tate running after the catch. Being the best on the lions is like being the best looking ugly chick. I’ll pass
"Mel Kiper has no more credentials to do what he's doing than my neighbor, and my neighbor's a postman, and he doesn't even have season tickets to the NFL."
Great segment. Many former players stop following the game. Most likely played from adolescence into teen’s and then their twenties, and on. Been there, seen it and done it mentality. Football 🏈 overload. 🤛🏼❤️🇺🇸
And honestly the triple option still managed a couple solid pros at receiver. Demaryious Thomas came out that system. Nothing but big plays when they do throw lol

Well done sir! This is just a great video! I think it really shows his point of view and fans can better understand his point of view. Keep up the great content. WHO DEY!
Their prime was the 1950's Barry would have done just fine. Calvin would have been a non factor since back then hardly anyone threw the ball. Bobby Lane was Lions QB & in 16 years threw for only 26,000 49% completion 196 TD's with 243 Int's. Bobby was the leader in the 1950's for pass attempts & passing yards. They also only played 12 games per year.

If raggedy ass Michael Irvin is in, ANYBODY who ever caught a pass in the NFL, should be in the H.O.F. He couldn't hold Megatron's (DIRTY) jock strap! On his BEST day!
Georgia Tech’s head coach at the time was Chan Gailey who ran a pro style office not the triple option. Paul Johnson was hired at the end of 2008 a full season after Calvin left for the draft
THANK YOU

Dwight Cook so did most teams at that time. Moron
I am glad I found your channel. Good piece
One of your best videos, went on a binge on your channel the last few days, great stuff. Keep it up.

HELL NAW, RED FLAGS
Honestly I think way more players should take a year break when they are 28-31. Like just sit out a season. I'm a vikings fans and so many of our vets have prolonged their career by 4-5 years just resting their bodies and preventing the injury. Or look at basketball with Michael Jordan's 2 year break. People dont realize how bad pro sports are for your body. My brother isnt going to take a college football scholarship because he isnt nearly NFL good and doesnt want to ruin his legs
I love your content bro. You literally answer all the questions I have about athletes that fell off the map. Keep up the 🔥 bro.
I have been watching for quite some time. Very informative, you state the facts. You site your sources. Because of that I recently subscribed to your channel. I pray 🙏 and wish you all the best 🙂 Flem Lo.
They call him megatron instead of optimius prime because he’s a baaaaaaddd man
When you are as good as Calvin Johnson you don't need anyone to tell you.
Very entertaining and insightful, I always enjoy watching these videos.
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for what you do.
Calvin Johnson and Joe Thomas are my two favorite players in the 21st century. Two guys that just went out and gave everything to the sport they loved. Thanks for the awesome videos as always, FlemLo. And we may be 0-11 but it's still Who Dey, Every Dey.
What? Y'all are really 0-11 right now?
Joe thomas was like a throwback grunt. HOF material right there.
@@lyrics2challenged Bengals are burying for Burrow
@@MemestiffGaming blowing for Burrow
Joe Thomas is always forgotten, definitely top 20 offensive lineman of all time.
What happened to santonio holmes
Chad pennington
Brad smith
mike Wallace
nikes4444 Marc Bulger
What happened to terrance west
My guy from The Ohio State University.
Chad is 43. His career was over a long time ago
3 of the 4 played for the Jets, that's what happened 🤣
Dude! your a rightous narrator, explaining a course thorough history , Megatron was nothing short than dominating, we miss him , thankyou for everything we witnessed , we love you and have fond memories of you .
Always loved Megatron...but even more know. Had the mind to back up the body.
Great video my man!
Barry and Calvin both hung it up early. Signs of a early death type franchise. 🤷🏾♂️
"oh yeah Detroit, we coming" 😂😂😂😂
That means the Bengals will go 0-16
Cleveland already beat them to the punch in 2017 though 😄
Cleveland already came, almost twice lol
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Tech wasn't running the Option when CJ21 was there. We were much more balanced offensively before Paul Johnson arrived.
Another fun fact: Him and Roman Reigns were teammates at Tech.
What team does Roman play for?
Jk lol
@@damiancorrea9514 he's ROLB for the Smackdowns
@@damiancorrea9514 Just so you know Roman was a budding star in college on defense. He had to quit football because he had lukeimia & almost died. He beat it after treatments for a few years. After 11 years free of it, it came back & he had to give up the title. He beat it again & is wrestling again. No doubt it will come back a 3rd time but to go thru what he has gone thru the guy is amazing.
Dolla Dame. Jr Cock
DrogbaLegend fun fact: Wrestlers is a waaay more physical sport than football (I’m not talking about fake wrestling like WWE) Also real AND fake wrestlers get payed more than your bummy ass
Do what happened to Chris Ivory. One of the most underrated running backs of the modern era. Ran like beastmode
He used to play for my saints and I remember his dreads bouncing and knocking the snot out of anyone who got in his was. Definitely underrrated
Thought he was OG for the Jets when he came in? Definitely remember the name.
Cichlid Tanks yeah he was a beast
Dude I barely remember him I was about to comment that
Please do it
Love your videos bro. Just watched Newton and Gurley also. You do so much research. Keep up the good work
I remember watching him make catches that simply left one sitting in silence and staring at the screen yo. Straight up Monster!
Same thing that happened to Barry Sanders.
1 playoff win since 1957.
Our QB is 6-46 against winning teams but has a $135,000,000 contract.
Our defense is ranked #30.
They’re owned by the Fords.
The Detroit Lions is what happened to Megatron. He turned down $15 million dollars to never play there again. Enough said
Facts. Detroit is a shit organization
Stat Padford isn't that bad of a qb, on paper. 😂😂😂
kindley fernand
Truth. Great stats but terrible record. I’d rather have the opposite
Talk about eye opener
Ryan Williams
6-46 against winning teams is a top 10 QB?
He’s played good for 2.5 seasons. The rest were toss ups to QB’s or Tate running after the catch.
Being the best on the lions is like being the best looking ugly chick.
I’ll pass
Haha I liked the Mel Kiper snippet. He never knows what he's talking about
chris jackson 👍
"Mel Kiper has no more credentials to do what he's doing than my neighbor, and my neighbor's a postman, and he doesn't even have season tickets to the NFL."
That’s the draft though. Some first rounders are busts while there are gems that are in 2-6 rounds. Hell even the undrafted guys can be good.
He looks like a bad TV preacher too! lol
$32million......petty ?
Yeah. Okay.
I like your well balance assessment of your subjects.
Another great video. Awesome job.
Georgia Tech didn’t run the option when Megatron was there..
Do a what happened to Jacoby Jones! Haven’t seen him after his super bowl 2013 kick return lol
@ST 23 , posting selfies ?
I just got my jersey signed by him at the Texans game😂
@@J6yd7n good for you nigga
YOMAMA BIN FARTIN you’re white
@@FecalMatador MP I'm not I'm Muslim
Your videos are very insightful.
Great segment. Many former players stop following the game. Most likely played from adolescence into teen’s and then their twenties, and on. Been there, seen it and done it mentality. Football 🏈 overload. 🤛🏼❤️🇺🇸
"Oh yeah Detroit, we coming!" Flem Lo
😂😂
Georgia Tech was not a triple option school at the time Calvin Johnson attended. Paul Johnson came the year after Megatron left
And honestly the triple option still managed a couple solid pros at receiver. Demaryious Thomas came out that system. Nothing but big plays when they do throw lol
QB was reggie Ball he might as well had been running the triple option 😂😂
Kudos on being a Bengals fan Flem. I've been a Niners fan for 30 years now. We may have lost the big dance today, but I know your woes have been much much deeper. Hoping you get to see the likes of Esiason and Ken Anderson again!
barry sanders is that other lion that retired in his prime. history repeats
A Roy Williams sighting...FlemLo you should do a “What Happened To” on him
Which 1? Hmmm how bout both! Lol
@74kjohnson Charles Rogers RIP from Michigan St. with the 2nd pick. Roy WIlliams from Texas at #7 and Mike Williams from USC at #10.... Crazy none really panned out at all.. even crazier to think that they took those guys in 2003, 04 and 05 then in 07 they get Johnson.. Hahaha.
Getting drafted to the Lions is what happened. End of story 😂
No, lions just made bad decisions with him. Stafford made him better
@@Seb318 when have the Lions made good decisions as a team tho. Never. Stafford is ALL they have to show for it.
ChinsHyperBTW GTFOH Calvin made Stanford better lol once Calvin left Matt staffords stats dipped pretty bad
Watts Raider and even Stafford isn’t all that not even one of the top qbs
@@megahoodfigga who's Stanford
Another great Piece Flem, damn near made me cry the way he was treated after his Concussions. I am glad that Calvin is home safe with his family where he belongs. He earned EVERY DAMN PENNY OF THAT 100 Mill he was paid !! Great work Flem, love you Brother !
Well done sir! This is just a great video! I think it really shows his point of view and fans can better understand his point of view. Keep up the great content. WHO DEY!
He's a bigger stronger Julio Jones and they both wasting there careers on booboo teams smh
@Avery Jones still boo boo. Let's say lions are runny and yall solid 😁
and less clutch.
At least Julio got to a SB.
@@k_zildjian4460 yes but Megatron better than Julio
@Avery Jones bullshit go look at the bucs as of today
Imagine Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders playing together with the Lions in their prime.
Lions probably still wouldn’t win a Super Bowl
Calvin would be what 6 and Barry would 49
Their prime was the 1950's Barry would have done just fine. Calvin would have been a non factor since back then hardly anyone threw the ball. Bobby Lane was Lions QB & in 16 years threw for only 26,000 49% completion 196 TD's with 243 Int's. Bobby was the leader in the 1950's for pass attempts & passing yards. They also only played 12 games per year.
And Matthew Stafford. They would have the best offense in the NFL if they at least an average line.
I can match that. Imagine prime Randy Moss and Adrian Peterson on the Vikings.
Man found ur vid yesterday's. thank u had a blast going threw them keep it up
I liked this vid. Very well done short to the point, all important info discussed. Nice.
when Calvin was recruited to Georgia Tech, they weren’t running the option at the time. It was a pro style offense. Just sayin
As a Raider fan I'm still disgusted that we drafted Jamarcus Whooper over MEGATRON
J.R. Elgran To be honest, at the time I would've done the same thing if I couldn't predict the future. Russell was a beast at LSU
@@underdog7495 Megatron was a Beast too likes of the NFL had never seen.
Problem who would be qb
cook we've had that issue for years. Raiders do do their diligence with Jamarcus.
📠📠📠📠📠!!!😣
You have great talent my friend, love your vids just found them
I just found your channel yesterday, and dude, you are top shelf! AND you're a fellow Bengals fan too?! Who Dey!
Georgia Tech didn’t start running the triple option until after he got drafted...
Theyoungthibby after Megatron left they didn’t have anyon to throw the ball too so they stopped throttle ball altogether
True, they were even running in while Demaryius Thomas was there
Jake Hughes they stopped throwing the ball because paul Johnson ran the triple option
Jake Hughes If it was pro style, demaryius Thomas would have been thrown to a lot more
Hated how the Lions treated Megatron. One of the all time greats🔥
Well said man! Keep it up 💯
