Listening to Calvin makes sounds just like a normal dude, 6'5 235, ball catching, first ballot hall of framer dude, but a over worked under appreciated man. He is Detroit.
What are you talking about? He is a millionaire.
He had a good career. Definitely could have done more. But he did as much he could.
first ballot was questionable (short career), especially after the T.O thing.

Would've done better anywhere but the lions
My brother worked with his dad on the railroad. Point blank real people down to Earth and cool. Smart as hell the whole family.He don't even act like a celebrity.
My buddy actually ran into Calvin at a bar about 7 years ago, great guy he said!
Seems like a good guy. I hope he and his family continues to be blessed.
Tremendous respect for Calvin. He’s really a role model.
Man listening to him talk about her seems so genuine. Lucky guy
I hope to be a positive man like him.
Keep God first and you will
🧙🏿♂️😂😂😂
This guy is ridiculously humble. Awesome:)
Calvin is a good human being. That’s the best compliment you can give a man.
What a beautiful woman. Great couple!
Hopefully, she doesn't sleep with his friend, divorce him and take half his money. That, assuming, there is NO prenup.
@@Nonpeon hopefully, but likely? Not really. She's got 3 boys who love her and a wonderful man, she has to be in a bad place to do that. I don't see her in a bad place right now. Normally it's the other way round statistically.
@@8kigana What's "the other way around statistically" mean? Explain...
@@Nonpeon You talking about that Russell Wilson situation ? That was messy lol
@@Nonpeon sorry for late response. A lot of times athletes like him go through divorces and the woman calls off the marriages, that's just the statics of marriages. So much poontang temptation all the time, and he's an upstanding dude, women love that, they're bold and don't care, they'll be trying to shoot their shot with him *all the time*, I think you even know that 😏.
I really respect the fact that he called his oldest sons mom a co parent instead of calling her "my sons mom". Seems so much more respectful
Dang he chose well. She is cute and smart.
Keep it single, no matter what!
And she chose him instead of the office accountant because of his personality
So was Dr Dre's wife...wink wink
@@keithjack585 hell nah she look like a man
@@jacksonsheldon41 lmao
Man, I wish Megatron would've gotten that 2,000 yards receiving, in 2012! Graham Bensinger is one of THE best interviewers in the business!
Yeah but the interviewer don't know shit about sports
I also wish he could've scored more than 5 tds that season.
Best my a**. Bensinger is mediocre at best.
I guess the Academy who gave him his Emmy knows little, do they?
@@thescatman5029 Yeah cause the academy always know what they are doing (sarcasm)!
What an incredible human.
it looks like Calvin chose wisely.....she seems like a very humble wise lovely woman.....it would be easy for a guy in his position to choose the wrong kind of woman based solely on superficial things....
Calvin got that right "eyebrow up" down to a science.
The only one better is Dwayne Johnson lol
50cent 🤨
HE GOTTA GREAT CATCH SERIOUSLY AINT TALKIN ABOUT THE BALL and I like that Calvin is down to earth be blessed Johnson family.
One of the greatest short termed receivers I have ever seen happy he is happy beautiful family
Got a lot of respect for this brother.
You got the best of that bet Calvin. 🤗
This Dawg really likes and appreciates CJ. Great player and a good guy!
Everyone thinking she's a gold digger (which may be true) but she also seems like a very cool girl with laid-back personality and just normal cute girl. He did well.
Went to high school with Calvin and he was ALWAYS the nicest guy.
Lol Calvin seem like a goofy ball 😂 this is beautiful
Good man and I'm a Colts fan. Best of luck to him and his family.
Even though I am A Cowboys fan but you are 1 of my favorite Wideouts and as A blk man it's hard for me to find true love but I love to see true love congratulations King and Queen for A beautiful life and may God continue to bless you guys with many more
So Roy Williams was responsible for his name and his wife. Dude has earned 1.6 from Calvin.
Yeah Roy deserves some love too
@@ericjoloka9030 I’m a cowboys fan y’all got all of his good plays lol
I was just about to say...I hope CJ invited Roy to the wedding!!
imagine being 6'5 230 a generational athletic talent and having a genius level IQ.....only to wind up playing for the Lions
Tell it to Barry Sanders.
And Matt Stafford and...
Yeah, I think Calvin is involved in a nanotechnology program at GA Tech after Football that pays way more than Football ever paid.
His genius level IQ told him to do what pays the most and what provides his family with the best life. One aspect of intelligence is following your own passion.
@@bigbanknewyork3655 well Stafford is with the Rams now so he doing good
Beautiful family!
Calvin and Randy are the two most unstoppable WR’s ever! Megatron
Loving the new interview style graham!
Thanks! We've got more great stuff coming up, make sure you hit the join button for full episodes.
FINALLY! @@GrahamBensinger Slackin'
Congrats my Brother great couple
Great dude man
Man, they seem very in love and normal. All the blessings in the world
More of this please
Lovely Story 👍👍
Great story 💕🙏🏈
Now that's America! God bless America! God is good and the Johnson family makes it all so. Godly folks.
Calvin is a class act just like Barry. Much luck in the future!
Calvin is a real one you can tell
Great love story!
Nice story. Thanks 😊 🫂 🙏
Graham bessinger got the best interviews
The more I see about Calvin the more I like him
I love how Graham is all teeth during doing love segments
What a nice family!
Don’t know why but I just like Kevin very humble guy
Calvin Legendary
What’s great is she is black, beautiful, articulate, intelligent. Great choice CJ!
ya imagine she wasn't black!
Omg she’s a melanin kween
Racist much??? 🤔
@@mr.albert2847 lol.
Calm down...he can celebrate black love. The comments above sound butt hurt
Beautiful & Lovely couple! Calvin you left the League at the right time, textbook
I met his dad at the Sandpearl Resort on Clearwater Beach while working there. Nice guy
What a great player
Detroit Lions owe this man!
Normal Family💪🙏🎯💯
godbless calvin and his family.
The must’ve have a great connection to come back together after 5 years most people would’ve moved on to someone new
I love Megatron...so proud of him and his focus on natural medicines
I always thought Calvin reminded me of someone and it finally hit me. Wilt Chamberlain, his jesters, manerism and especially his voice to an extent are extremely similiar. Just my thoughts.
Way off
Cool dude! Great couple.
Congrats to both of you guys. black love
Why do You see race? You hypocritical fool.
That's right, black love is beautiful.
So five years after he approached her? Im thinking:
-internship went nowhere
-She realizes thats Calvin freakin Johnson
-calls him up and says im in Atlanta, (calvin says im otw to miami) ....no wait, im in miami to
lol, yea...... i think we know exactly what this was about, cant blame her tho, security is security
Exactly, she was just waiting for him to get that massive contract. Now she's saved
Won't lie I was thinking the same thing. Calvin supposed to say he reached out to help his wife save face lol. But who knows maybe she felt differently after he retired,which makes sense. Couldn't really blame her for not wanting to deal with a football player on the road. Not that a rich man can't cheat locally if he wants to.
@@carbon.the.christ5626 nah this was five years after his sophmore year, he said. He was still playing and he was the man by the time she made that call. According to their timeline, he retired 2-3 years after she came for him. So he was still the traveling athlete
Haha I knew I was gonna find a comment that matched what I was thinking
I’m sure they kept in touch over those 5 years and Calvin can have whoever he wants so how is she a gold digger if he picked her..?
man he looks like he should still be out there lol
She Secured the bag
Megatron is classy and special.
Never knew he had this type of personality
Oreo
If ever there was a movie about Calvin Jay Ellis should play him.
Seems like 2 nice people
Calvin Johnson is an anomaly. He was great but it's almost as if he didn't happen. We know he played and was the best but he's so distant from all things football that it's like he is non existent in in the history of football.
just like Barry Sanders lol
In life, there are a lot of situations where its best to be that person. You're their best friend that night but they can barely remember your name the next day. Its how you stay low key.
4 letter ... Lions... thats why
5 lol
@@shaunbures7557 😂😂 and he actually typed 5 letters
Beautiful Couple
Great couple
MegaTron walking around with a ring sizer. Nice
The Lions NEVER deserved Calvin !!! Or Barry Sanders!
Or Matthew Stafford! I loved Matthew Stafford when he was here, but right now he's doing a lot better in the two games he's played in Los Angeles so far than the 12 years he was here. He's with a team who's actually committed to winning.
The Detroit Lions have ruined so much great talent.
@@NateTheGr8ness yeah Matt is one of my Favorite QBs of this era.. He shoulda been got out of Detriot years ago that organization has always been terrible
Makes me so sad for the Detroit fans and especially for the legendary athletes that endured the organization. Hoping you guys hoist the Lombardi (not before my Jets though 🙂)
u guys are sellouts
@@NateTheGr8ness CAP.
First time ever. I'm the first comment. Holy Cow. Lolz.. amazing interviews as always.
Congrats, enjoy the moment!
Congratulations my friend.
CONGRATS!
My guy Megatron
DLK k
Damn wish he come bck to play jus a year or two I wnt him to get 100 touchdowns he was only 17 away frm tht plus jus to hear his true name b call again Megatron
I miss Megatron!! Such a cool super star! Put him up their with Barry Sanders!!
Would never think he was megatron one of the best wr of all time, he looks like a regular dude
6′ 5″ 240 POUNDS looks like a regular dood? Folks be sayin' the darndest tings online!
@@thekongstocks not knowing he was megatron you wouldnt think, that he was in the nfl
It always takes creative devices and the bending of circumstance to bring together beautiful women and millionaire athletes cause that shit never just happens automatically out of natural instinct.
She was looking to advance her career as an intern, mission accomplished
She wasn’t an intern when they got together they clearly said it was 5yrs after they first met cause she didn’t want to date a football player
This must be why he is the only legend in Madden 21 Superstar KO
But I am proud 4 yawl...
calvin seems like an awesome dude and is one of the 2 best wrs that i have seen play in my lifetime along w randy moss but that is the least smooth proposal ive ever heard of. the ring sizer? cmon man
MY THOUGHT EXACTLY! At first, I thought it was only me but now I'm convinced it was one of the weakest marriage proposals ever!! 😅🤣😂 THX #WACK
Sweet story.
Salute to Megatron!
megatron is a beast and gentleman and a beast
🖤
Calvin Johnson vs. Everybody! 🤔
When you an intern and hit the jackpot.
Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Matthew Stafford 3 of greatest players in Detroit Lions history but their talent got wasted
Hypothetically could you imagine that 3 some🤯 would be top 3 greatest ever
I made a bet with my friend he said I couldn't bag this one girl and I did. Little did I know winning the bet would be more like losing it cause I went thru 3 years of a toxic horrendous relationship 🤣
Why did you wait 3 years before leaving?
@@pwalker9757 thought I was in love 🤣 so we kept trying to make it work it wasn't till I hit rock bottom and she left instead of staying in by my side is when I realized the toxicity
❤️
Nope it was that second contract 🤣. She waited until the bigger bucks came in 🤣🤭
Good for him. At least alvin got something good out of the deal.
He did her good
Fellas shoot your shot!
All 16 dislike comes from those CBs and DBs he cooked
When you are rich? You can get anything.
You think the equipment assistant is getting the same deals?
I know her dad and sister in Florida.
As if she didnt know he wasnt a football player making way more than her..JACKPOT
Hope he see this remember me you singed a 100$ dollar bill for me at a gas ⛽ and Pontiac mich on Woodward I lost I had to spend that wish I could get another one plz help 🆘
Georgia boy 💪🏼
