Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important that the Detroit Lions have announced that Calvin Johnson will be inducted into their Pride of the Lions.
Nicknamed “Megatron,” Johnson was the most dynamic wide receiver of his day, making impossible catches and making them look easy.
A Lion for the entirety of his career, Johnson was taken second overall in 2007 and would twice lead the NFL in Receiving Yards. In only nine seasons, Johnson accumulated 11,619 Yards with 93 Touchdowns, with his last six campaigns yielding Pro Bowl Selection. Johnson was also a three-time First Team All-Pro and was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.
Johnson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021 in his first year of eligibility.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Calvin Johnson for his impending honor.
