He was 6'5 237, ran a 4.35 40, and scored a 40 on the Wonderlic test (greatest ever by a wide receiver).
Nick C.A. wonderlic has nothing to do with skill
Peyton Daily no shit
And 0 Rings, sad to see my hometown team not give a unbelievable player what he deserved
Gil Puentes no he’s not he’s good receiver don’t get me wrong but he ain’t no MegaTron
Gil Puentes stop
Antonio Brown and Julio Jones weren’t the best until Megatron retired.
The Rhythm true dat
The Rhythm the sad part is if he played for a good Organisation he would be seen as the Goat
@Matthew Stratton wrong
Matthew Stratton that’s very wrong
@Matthew Stratton or as fast
when i heard the fans chant calvin it sent chills down my spine..
Actual Factuals 💯
joyner profile pic??? i like it...
Some Person weird
Some Person must be a lions fan then lmao y’all suck
How
The thing about Johnson is this: None of his receptions look flashy, he's not making one handed snags like Odell. But then you realize that he's going over 2 or even 3 guys and making these receptions look easy. That's what's truly incredible.
a lot of these throws look like matt just went " fuck it Calvin make a play "
All his catches look flashy.
And that also tells you how much coverage he had too
this guy deserved a good 2-3 rings
Lions ruined another great athlete.
Jono Howard just like The Falcons will waste Julio
Jono Howard. u rite
+Jono Howard (JonocraftFTW) Lmao
teh Stunz falcons have a shot. However, I think the Cowboys will be the ones to lift a lombardi. Trade Julio just like the panthers did with steve smith, give him a chance like on the seahawks.
i miss this dude😭 wish he was still playin
Mitchell I'm so fucking sick of ignorant people like you, do you now know that contracts expire? He could go anywhere he wanted to. He wanted to play for the city.
Evan The irony is that when he retires theyre in the playoffs. same with barry sanders when he retired, that year after lions were in the playoffs too. If i were as gifted as any of those dudes id play til im 50. honestly
Evan stfu dude u don't know what your talking about, get your facts straight kid
Tastetherainbow2nd when he was there stafford forced it too him a lot so its better for the lions o but at the same time its not 😂
He was tired of the wear n tear, no matter the size, the concussions, hits and injuries catch up with you, not only physically but mentally, glad he quit before he turned into a vegetable like Wes Welker.
He deserves to be a hall of famer
He will believe that.
Duh
Of fucking course he does, might not have the postseason success but his stats do not lie. I’m a die hard lions fan but put him on a team like the patriots, saints, or packers during his prime and he would be undoubtedly the goat wide receiver
Bro wtf he’s a top 3 receiver all time 😂
He does but I wouldn’t be surprised if him voicing his negative opinions on the NFL will hinder them letting him in.
And he didn’t have a single off the field issue, or any character problems. Truly great.
Wish he was still in madden because when I did a fantasy draft I drafted him and he would carry the offense no matter what qb he had.
It's going to be weird in a couple years when all of the WRs I grew up watching, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitz, Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith, and Megatron, will be retired.
Do yall think Megatron should be in the Hall of Fame once he is eligible.? I do.
AirdropSneakers i agree. i grew up with larry, and im a cardinals fan. it will be sad when they all go, but they have made their name heard
AirdropSneakers nope T.O is better n he didn't get in first try and he's top 3 all time. WRs get buttfucked
Sam Bryan The reason T.O isn't in is because he was never apart of a team. He only cared about T.O. Constantly bitching out people because he wouldn't get the ball enough. Complaining about his money, and just being a diva. Hall of fame doesn't just judge talent it also judges character.
100% He should.
So T.O playing on a fractured leg during the Super Bowl him just caring about him. When the doctors said his injury would take a few more weeks, and he went out there and played and had 122 yards. He was never in any off field problems.
A TE with hands and skills of a WR. Unbelievable
Ryan Brown Imagine if he was really elusive too, but that's just too much to ask for lol
Evan god damn he would be unstoppable... haha
SiimplyGamiing he's talking about his size..
Evan he is probably one of the most elusive wrs i've had the honor of watching
Noor Faruqi he wasn't elusive. fast running straight, but too big to make sharp cuts.
He plays with such control. Every time that ball goes up, he's in control of the play
The best nickname in sports history
Kliq Don
Definitely 1 of.
Jimmy Buckets is hella fresh.
MEGATRON is still better, so you maybe right, sir.
The Fridge is close, but I don't think there's ever been a more perfect nickname
Idk weapon X is dope
The best nickname is Prime Time no cap
Like all of these nicknames but don’t forget about honey badger
Shout out to the Lions for ending another Hall of Famers career way to short.
Chase He retired because of his body's detriment, he said it hurt to get up,not because of the lions.
R14B He said and I quote "They hand out painkillers like candy," referring to the Detroit training staff, they were lazy and couldn't care for Calvin Johnson.
+D. Hall matthew stafford ruined his career it was straight megatron all game every game
Chase seriously, man his body got beat up every week, other players in his shoes can't even get out of bed sometimes
+Jake Jones im really glad matt ryan stopped almost doing the same thing but i mean he got thrown the ball when stafford knew he was about to get drilled he was broke
Best naturally talented receiver ever. No question
Shnato Natural and hard work, in an interview the coaches said sometimes they had to take him out of practice because he was working too hard and needed a break. First one there, last to leave everyday
Shnato have u ever heard of Randy Moss
Dylan Harper Think Megatron was more naturally gifted, not a lot between it though
Shnato the only player though right now in the NFL that reminds me of Calvin Johnson is Julio Jones
Connor Quattlebaum how at all? He is 3 inches taller, is faster, has more catches, yards, and tds?
It's sad why he left...he pretty much followed The Great Barry Sanders ghost that walked outta there!!
kursed parasite you make a good point
lions ruined his career
@MemeLord 5000 imagine if he was on a team that helped him get a few rings
Best nickname ever. MEGATRON!!!
It almost brings tears to my eyes that Calvin Johnson retired... my goodness he was so good!
“Were you a scrub?”
Im glad he got out of Detroit. They squandered his talent
I'm always checking the time one these videos because I hope its not almost over
That's awesome!
Joseph Vincent please make a video for Chad Johnson
Same bro
Lol sane
Another great highlight tape. All Hail Megatron. And I'm a Packers fan. Nothing but respect for this man and Barry Sanders.
man as a bears fan I got to watch this guy two times a year and there aren't many guys I used to root for within the division but Megatron was one of them. The only guy I can think of that was fast enough to run past you, big enough to run thru you, and had the hops to jump over you to make the catch. he never won a super bowl but the HOF is in this guys future that's for sure. #MegatronHOF #CJ81
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 1.Moss 2. Calvin
Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 Calvin was stronger, had a much more diverse route tree and didn’t take plays off. Love Moss, greatest hands ever but I’m taking Megatron over him if I’m starting a team.
He never won a superbowl because he was on the lions
I’m a bears fan too and megatron to me is the best ever
I hope everyone that reads this has a great week and 2017. Much love to everyone
Same bro suB to me
Drop Off Ken sub for sub ?
Yes sub back
King Deezy same to you
Drop Off Ken I did
I miss Calvin. As a lions fan its hearbreaking. He's the best WR in NFL history
TommySoccer22 T o was better than megatwat
JL-CptAtom exactly true
Best in lions history 💯🤙🤘🦁
Javier Sánchez shut up it may be true but you have no right to call him megatwat
Your fucking stupid if you think Terrell owens is better lmfao
randy moss ran streaks and fades...this man did it all. Megatron is the G.O.A.T. 💯
If my 66 years of living I have witnessed mr. Paul Warfield, Mr.Lynn Swann, the Drew Pearson, Randy Moss, and yes mr. Jerry Rice, and Terrell Owens, but there was no one like Calvin Johnson, better known as Megatron, he was truly excellent every time he was on the field. Only Mr.Barry Sanders can actually equal to what he did and that is two different positions Right On mr. Johnson, Right On 💎💯
Who’s here after Jamal Adams said mecalf is this generations megatron
Which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard
@@joebob6810 u just wait man DK already broke the rookie receiving record last year. u just wait man
@@quinnanmack2388 agreed. Just wait. Barely his second year.
@@joebob6810 Not dumb at all. He’s just in his second year and killing it.
Aaand that record is gonna be beat by chase claypool
My favorite player of all time.
I’ve seen all the greats from the early 80’s to today. Calvin Johnson is the greatest receiver to ever play. He had it ALL. Size, speed, hands, strength, vertical, routes, toughness, loyalty, humility, work ethic. He is literally everything you could ever want in a football player. I don’t know if we’ll ever see anyone quite like Megatron again.
He’s also got a head on his shoulder man set the recover receiver I believe for the wonderlic
Sorry pal the greatest is Jerry Rice by a mile. Jerry Rice at 40 was better player than Calvin at 30.
Sept.29th: Happy birthday Calvin "MegaTron" Johnson Jr.; 6 x Pro Bowl, 2006 ACC Player of the Year, NFL record 1,964 yards in a season. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, Joseph Vincent. You rock! Blessings
Damn imagine if he was with Brady/Bree's or Peyton manning
Jon Ramsey ikr , he would be the greatest wr ever because he has a better qb. you look at other great wr and most of them had really good qbs.. and Stanford isn't bad but he ain't the best.
Solomon Leslie I think what contributed was the fact he was the best option for Detroit on the receiving end of the ball. I feel like Matthew Stafford is going to be remembered as a much better quarterback now that Calvin retired, but it was also because of the fact Calvin was targeted all of the time he had to retire.
+Brendan Fligger if he had literally any help, his body wouldn't have to get abused so much, therfore the lions sucking made him retire. Boom
Jon Ramsey That is not entirely true because if he had played on one of those teams then he wouldn’t have gotten near the yards he has now and probably would not be contending with Terrell Owens or Jerry Rice as the greatest receiver of all time
Jadonn Williams same thing with Barry Sanders
Top 5 All Time WR
Batuhan Bakirci 1*
Evan chill.. top 5 is good enough. He retired too soon. jerry and randy are 1 and 2 or 2 and 1 depending on who you ask. Calvin can be argued as 3rd that's a hell of an accomplishment in itself.
Batuhan Bakirci Id say 4 J Rice Randy Moss and Steve Largent are better imo
ThePatriotChris don't forget about TO
Kriptik Gamer that Seahawks bias
Just an incredible edit it gets me every time
Went from good to great,
Great to excellent,
And is chasing phenomenal.
This guy is a legend and im so happy I got to watch him play. I wish the lions could have done more for him because he deserved it but he is an inspiration and as humble as they come. God Bless my man!!!!
He's a once in a lifetime player. One can argue his prime is better then BOTH Jerry Rice and Randy Moss's prime. When you played him, you would be lucky if he didn't have 100 receiving yards. No doubt he would be a top 3 WR if he played at least 3 more years. Still deserving of the HOF
Gains by any means necessary years to stats he is better than moss
Not in touchdowns he don't ! nice try lol
It's not even an arguement. Calvin's prime is superior to every reciever in NFL history. You'd be a jackass to disagree.
Nonsense. Moss's overall impact was far greater than Calvin's and translated to fucking points. Calvin was a beast but you do not understand big picture of offense whatsoever. Calvin had obvious limitations to his game which show top on stat sheet.
Jerry Rice is not shit compared to Megatron and Randy... Jerry Rice played with hall of fame quarterbacks while Calvin had fucking matt stafford and Randy Moss played with a long list of no-name, already forgotten quarterbacks before finally getting the chance to play a couple seasons with Tom Brady.
Imagine Chad Johnson, T.O., Randy Moss, Megatron playing their entire careers with Aaron Rodgers/Tom Brady and tell me that they wouldn't blow jerry rice's stats right out of the record book
If only he was on a good team he could of gotten some rings he deserves at least one
Henry Ha fuk u too
Henry I am a lions fan but I agree
you shouldn't put your age in your username ^
I’m from Detroit and ik damn well that the lions is ass it’s pathetic
detroitlionking 9 you are pathetic lmfao much like your worthless team
This was put together very well. Great job, i'll check out some other films you've done as well.
Joseph Vincent,
You are simply the best sports video editor of all time.....period.
Thank You
we missed you calvin
Charles Woodson was covering him, not only that but double coverage and he still caught it.
Pure talent.
Damn I miss Calvin, generation talent
The best receiver I've ever seen play in my lifetime.
I can't wait for this Steve Smith video
same even though I hated when he played my steelers
Loved watching him play. Coming from a seahawks fan, I ADORED him. Loved his sportsmanship. Hell, used him in madden for them jump balls.
These are so well put together.
this is the most beautifully edited video i’ve ever seen
if he had stayed few more seasons, he wuldve went down as the best
Weegum nateW6002 yeah just stop correctin people and enjoy this one of a kind football player
Weegum Nate dude it’s CZcams who gives a shit
Weegum Music shut up you don't even know if he is a kid
trollslayertim 92 Montana had Rice, Peyton had Harrison, Brady had Troy Brown, Dion Branch, Welker, Moss, Edleman, Amendola. It would’ve been nice if Megatron spent his career in NE. He’s a smart route runner
He is the best so....
Dude I don't understand how you only have 200,000 subscribers,
I've been here for a while and you make some of the best videos there are, keep up the good work and making great content
Blue Stingray yeah this is my favorite channel
Detroit loves you and appreciates everything you did for us
I’m a huge Vikings fan, hell more of a fanatic really... my favorite player in the NFL now or ever is Larry Fitzgerald... but I’ll not hesitate to say I think Megatron was the one of those like Moss, a talent that for one reason or another just never got the real chance or push to really see how deep the talent went, and because of it we are left with a taste of brilliance and a question of just how amazing could it have been. He is the kind of player that you based your whole gameplan around and if you didn’t have a play you believed in, you just toss up to him and let him take over. Truly missed but much respect for leaving on your own terms and a huge thanks for all the amazing plays you gave us, even though you beat my favorite team around like eggs sometimes...
I'm a Vikings fan, but Calvin is still one of my favorite players of all time. He's just brilliant
Moss or Johnson your choice
To me he was the greatest wr of all time I grew up watching him and I'm a Hawks fan
Nah Jerry Rice is the best wr ever ask the NFL they will tell you
@@dxedx_p8232 that is because his career was longer. If Calvin played for the same time then you would be telling everyone that Calvin was the best
@@dxedx_p8232 Jerry Rice benefitted from two hof QBs in Montana and Young.
Megatron is in a similar position to Randy Moss- not as good organizations (as SF).
Randy had an incredible time in NE, but he also dressed for Minnesota and the Raiders; crap QBs on both (except for Randall Cunningham).
Apples to Apples, if Megatron plays for as long as those other two guys, he is the g.o.a.t 🐐.
But the way history stands,
Player. Best Skill
1. Rice (dominant)
2. Moss (dependable)
3. C Johnson (powerful)
LordWatson Watson bro i love megatron but jerry rice is the goat he’s Jesus in cleats man but I respect your opinion I have so much respect for megatron
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2
Megatron was incrementally slower than Moss but was clearly more powerful than Moss. Both were generational talents but Megatron had it all.
Love your vids great atmosphere sub deserved keep it up!
As a vikings fan it was a pain watching megatron torch Rhodes but as a football fan I'm glad I'll be able to tell my kids I witnessed greatness every Sunday. Thank you calvin!
this is awsome. we need more of steve smith
4:38 - 4:56 best part of the entire video! What a beast.
He put in whale noises, lol.
Damn I miss watching this GOD! Such a good person in general at life, and a pure sportsman on the field. So much respect for this legend!!
Thanks, man! You have some awesome videos!
You should make a video of all the MVP candidates. Like so he can see this!
On behalf of all Lions fans, I would like to apologize to the football gods for wasting this man's career.
I'm a Steelers fan all the way, but there will never be a WR like MegaTron, in forever, if not ever! Love and miss your presence on the field! We all miss watching you play for the lions
Hands down one of the greatest WRs with a bad ass Nick name. MEGATRON!!!! The man gave Detroit fans his all every week. He pulled a Barry Sanders because he was smart. Can’t blame the man. He listened to his body. His body said no more so he didn’t push it. The Lions actually wanted him to give back some of the money on his contract? Shows you how classy that organization is. A lot of players play past their expiration date and will definitely feel the effect of it post NFL. He’s definitely saving himself from more potential brain injuries. Sucks to see him retire early but happy that I got to witness the memories he made on the field. In my opinion, the most gifted and arguably the greatest WR ever. Calvin Johnson.
Forever waiting for a good Rodgers vid by you.
Navarro bowman and Patrick Willis the best linebacker duo ever!!!
jacob ortiz yes! 👌
Great job Joe. Nice editing
This video makes me wanna cry. I miss the guy and I’m a Vikings fan, he was special
Bruh he beat my Cowboys by himself! Stafford deserves some props, those ball placement for him 🎯
Im not crying you are😭
6'5 237, still ran a 4.35 40, dropped 329 yards on the cowboys in ONE game, had 1,921 yards in one season, and was virtually unstoppable downfield. Could practically jump over any DB. In one season, he had 96 receptions for 1,681 yards. Michael Thomas had 149 receptions for 1,725 yards. 53 less receptions, only 44 less yards. Had CJ been fed the ball as much as Thomas was, he would have had 149 receptions for 2,609 yards. 6x pro-bowler. Led the league in yards twice. Holds the all-time NFL record in receiving yards. Almost every game he played, it was like he hardly had any receptions but always had 180+ yards. At his best, no player in the NFL could stop him.
Jerry rice had 22,000 yards after 21 years in the league. If CJ played 21 years, he puts up 27,000. He is the best receiver this league has EVER seen, and there is ZERO room for debate.
Man I love this guy! Hes definitely a hof!! Glad hes not in our division anymore but at the same time it sucks that we will never get to watch him play again. Skol
I remember thinking that Staford was elite and thinking he had one of the prettiest deep balls of all time... turns out 81 was his receiver. really wish I watched more of Calvin Johnson when I was younger
Stafford does have one of the best deep balls of all time, he still does it, CJ81 just made it that much better :) and I also wish I watched the Lions more growing up, I'm 19 and I didnt start watching until Calvin's last year :'(
@@andrewtaylor5492 dont worry, the second coming of calvin johnson has just arrived and his name is Kenny Golladay
@@heyitschris8888 it's crazy that we got him for a 3rd round pick. That man is a beast!
Stafford is elite!
this is the best nfl channle by far
+nathan corrigall Thanks for the kind words
Joseph Vincent you should make a video on Terrell Pryor
Just an incredible edit
I am a Patriots fan and I loved this guy so much for his greatness on the field but he was also very humble. I can't help but imagine what would have happened if he was on a great team like the patriots...
This dude was the best to ever do it. His stats don’t show it due to his shit organization ruining him. Most gifted athlete I’ve ever seen in the nfl
Calvin should have played with Brandon Marshall omg two giants playing with each other
Forgot how good Calvin Johnson is
Djmax365 Was*
great*
Don’t read my profile picture man how he da GOAT
I've need seen a wr doubled team and tripled team so many times and still come down with the football. #ThereWillOnlyBeOneMegatron
Johnson will always hold a special place in my memories of the team, but just watching some of these recaps makes me cringe to remember alllll the times you'd see Stafford under pressure IMMEDIATELY after the snap. Super frustrating years but Johnson made them worth watching
Man, how do you not have a Tim Duncan video? 5x NBA Champion, 3x Finals MVP, 2x Regular Season MVP. 13 Straight Seasons All NBA and All Defensive Teams. Old Man Riverwalk is the greatest PF hands down.
Kenny Doogson because Tim Duncan and the spurs are boring. He's great top 3 pfs ever but boring.
Sam Bryan He's got plenty of great dunks, blocks and clutch shots, with a great personal story. Would make for an awesome video.
ratings cancer
4:46 WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE BACKGROUND MUSIC??? PLEASE JOSEPH VINCENT 🙏🏾
It was so fun watching stafford and megatron play. It made for some really fun football to watch.
loved him as a kid growing up in the late 2000’s to early 2010’s and playing with him on madden and still love him
Who's here after he got inducted in the HOF?
“Were you a scrub?”
Amazing editing skills
Loved watching megatron! Legend!
R.I.P. Megatron 2007 - 2016
I watch this video once a month as a lion fan it hurts...
That bengals highlight where stafford is scrambling and johnson has 3 guys on him might be one of the plays in nfl history stafford and johnson are the most underappreciated duo ever and im a packers fan
Favorite video of yours, and I'm a Vikings fan
+Jacob Cave nice, thanks for watching!
G.O.A.T!!!!!!!!!
xX-AnGr-Xx yes indeed
xX-AnGr-Xx Can't spell goat without T o.!
he better than jerry rice from a individual standpoint dude had it speed size and he didnt use stickem like jerry rice said he done when he played
Lolly Stew still gotta run the routes, have the speed and agility to get open and rice did it all the way to his 40s
I’m a Lions fan watched the day he got drafted to the day he retired but he wasn’t Jerry Rice maybe if he had 8 more seasons with 80 1200 8td and still Jerry probably best football player ever
@@bvswtwolves21 he could run routes too
Lovely Joe, what a fitting tribute to an absolute legend of the game.
Unquestionably one of the most gifted athletes of our time, and the greatest receiver the NFL has ever seen.
badass nickname
3:22 damn megaton *Thicc*
I cant help but cry while watching this
Growing up in Detroit he was a monster on the field and just couldn't miss him and he was a human videogame of madden on all madden level, if he was still playing right now we will be still talking about how great he is
Hakeem Butler "Optimus Prime"
make one about Detroit Lions 8 comeback wins
love your highlights because they aren't slow mow like to see it in normal time
