As a lifelong Lions fan, Calvin was a bright spot during some of the darkest days of the franchise. He alone was the main reason I even bothered to watch some of those atrocious teams. Not only is he the greatest receiver to ever play the game, he's an even better person off the field. Such a class act! Congratulations on an amazing career, #81!
Those highlights of Calvin Johnson brought back so many great moments. Thanks for the memories Calvin. The city of Detroit and your truest fans love you. Go Lions ✌️ and we did get that win tonight against those Seahawks.
Loved watching calvin every week, he deserves this honor. One of the greatest lions of all time and it's so good to see him back as part of the pride!! Watching those highlights again, it easy to see why he is the GOAT!
Definitely crying tears of joy . Watched most all of his games and Calvin put it all on the line every week for the Lions and Michigan! Way to go Calvin!
Seeing Joyce bell made me remember when he came to my elementary school when he was on the Lions and signed my shirt. From what I remember a super outstanding man.
Thank you Calvin Johnson. You're the reason I love football! Seen you play and watched you break records. I always hoped you and lions reconciled since the day I read you retired. God bless!
So well deserved! Thank you for many great years of beautiful receptions and more importantly your impact on the team and this city. So glad you are a Lion
As a fan that has stuck around since 2008, it sucks that couldn't win anything during that span. That era of Lions football was full of what ifs. Megatron was the bright spot in a dark time for the team and glad he's getting inducted into the Football Hall of Fame and the Lions' personal Hall. You earned it, Megatron!
Respect to Megatron! There are a few guys who missed being on teams that could reward him, and Megatron is one. JJ Watt is another. Glad Megatron is being respected!
So happy for him But none of them catches would be possible without Stafford. Yet haven't heard him give his quarterback praise for throwing him some nice passes along the way
I saw the catch vs the Bengals and I was at the monday night opener vs the giants. He broke away from the defender and the crowd erupted before stafford even threw the ball. Of course he scored the TD.
Oh how I loved watching him play on Sundays, Monday Nights or the Traditional 🦁Thanksgiving Game 💙🤍 When he stopped playing I stopped watching for awhile 😭😱😰 Just to upset🥺 MEGATRON YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MISSED!! Long Live 💙🤍 81, Best WR EVVVVVER🌠
Salute Jamo for taking one for the team and "kinda" dunkin the hell out that ball in honor of a legend he will soon mirror for the Lions not as the Big throw it up in the air and get it but throw it as far as you like Jamo gonna go get it
@@oofmcgoof6386 really, whatd he win here, in 13 seasons, with oh by the way the best WR in the game at the time? I'll wait......I get it's a team, not all on him, but, not even 1 playoff win Cmon
@@mrzackattack261 RIGHT, unstoppable til he hit the other teams player in stride, and missed the playoffs every year, NO THANKS! Glad he won, too bad he couldn't here! Best trade ever done for this franchise! Could you imagine if we had done something like that with Barry, or Calvin what we would have had for them!!!
I love that Jamo paid respects with the Megatron goalpost slam dunk celly! Perfect way to pay tribute to the man while he's in the house!
Well worth the 15 yard penalty lol
@@gmwdim lol right
Facts.. ref$ so trash to flag that too
Loved It! 🔥
Some refs are just SAD SACKS !!!!
Great to hear cheering for Sheila. It’s such a different time we are in now
Who would’ve everrrrr thought
Sheila definitely deserves her flowers for helping turn this team around. I tip my hat!
Totally, good times. Shelia has done very well.
Such a class act from day 1 to today. He is to WR's what Barry is to RB's. Glad he got his due.
I love how Golden Tate won a super bowl with the Seahawks but is 100% a Lion through and through.
It makes me cry
I'm laughing at Golden Tate being such a fan boy with his phone out hahah
Wym 🤔 they like brothers
My favorite NFL player of all Time...
Uh Barry?
@@GottaLookInwardToSeeOutward he’s THEIR favorite player of all time
Number 2 for me only behind Barry
As a lifelong Lions fan, Calvin was a bright spot during some of the darkest days of the franchise. He alone was the main reason I even bothered to watch some of those atrocious teams.
Not only is he the greatest receiver to ever play the game, he's an even better person off the field. Such a class act!
Congratulations on an amazing career, #81!
Fun fact Dan Campbell actually played with Megatron that's awesome to me we've come full circle.
Glad you didn't leave and stood as a Lions.
Hanson, Barry, Calvin, Raiola, Backus. All legends
Jeff backus was the biggest bum lol
Lomas Brown
Raiola was quire a negative guy, I remember that.
His statue next to Barry is going to be amazing.
It is about time. An honor that is well deserved.
Thank you, Shiela, for bringing Lions heroes back home! I have never been more proud of this organization and to be a Lions fan! 🦁 ❤
No NFL receiver ever like Calvin
Those highlights of Calvin Johnson brought back so many great moments. Thanks for the memories Calvin. The city of Detroit and your truest fans love you. Go Lions ✌️ and we did get that win tonight against those Seahawks.
Dude, same. I remember where I was while watching the highlighted catches. Crazy!
Loved watching calvin every week, he deserves this honor. One of the greatest lions of all time and it's so good to see him back as part of the pride!! Watching those highlights again, it easy to see why he is the GOAT!
Cannot believes it's been 9 seasons since I've seen this man destroy the league. So thankful I got to witness this man and his talents.
Well deserved and long overdue. Greatest receiver I’ve ever seen.
Hats off to Sheila for giving this man the money and respect he deserves. Bravo.
MEGATRON WILL LIVE FOREVER WITH US..
Definitely crying tears of joy . Watched most all of his games and Calvin put it all on the line every week for the Lions and Michigan! Way to go Calvin!
Calvin your are what Detroit represents hard work
Can't have a ring of pride and not raise the banner of 81 Calvin Megatron Johnson. Deserves a statue in Ford field as well
The ring is next!
Calvin statue absolutely has to happen
I believe it will happen
Special man, special player. Congrats to Mr. Johnson, and I thank him for what he does for the city and the team. It feels *right* that he's there.
Seeing Joyce bell made me remember when he came to my elementary school when he was on the Lions and signed my shirt. From what I remember a super outstanding man.
Joique Bell TD hand wave, remember that!
he was a bowling ball of a runner. i was a big fan. one pride.
I love you Calvin. Thank you for the best years of my life as a sports fan. Thank you for everything.
Thank You Megatron!! Best player in NFL HISTORY!!! LFG DETROIT
Heart bursting, tears of joy.
Congratulations Megatron, and congratulations to Sheila for lifting us all to the rafters.
WELL DESERVED GOAT!!
BLESSINGS TO YOU YOUNG MAN
Thank you Calvin Johnson. You're the reason I love football! Seen you play and watched you break records. I always hoped you and lions reconciled since the day I read you retired. God bless!
Best WR in NFL history.
Such a great player/person to add "officially" to Lions history. I wish you nothing but the best #81.
Congrats Mr. Johnson! Much love and respect we have for you.
WHAT. A. WIN.
Awesome, he definitely deserves it.
Great player, great role model
Tears of joy over here 🥹

So well deserved, Megatron was a Detroit Lion LEGEND!

Congratulations # 81, MEGATRON. Since 1965, GOLIONS.
Thank you Calvin
Congratulations
Shelia has done a remarkable job of changing the culture of this team.
Huge difference from the time Sheila got booed at one of these.
So happy for him
But none of them catches would be possible without Stafford. Yet haven't heard him give his quarterback praise for throwing him some nice passes along the way
The best to ever do it!!!
I saw the catch vs the Bengals and I was at the monday night opener vs the giants. He broke away from the defender and the crowd erupted before stafford even threw the ball. Of course he scored the TD.
I’m so happy the Staffords weren’t there
dan miller is a must in every video
❤ congratulations ❤
Congratulations to Megatron
Best WR ever might even be an understatement.
Best Wr not only for the Lions, but my opinion the best wr in the NfL ever 🐐
After watching the seattle game, Dk Metcalf is like calvin if calvin was a wanna be. calvin the goat
Oh how I loved watching him play on Sundays, Monday Nights or the Traditional 🦁Thanksgiving Game 💙🤍
When he stopped playing I stopped watching for awhile 😭😱😰 Just to upset🥺
MEGATRON YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MISSED!!
Long Live 💙🤍 81, Best WR EVVVVVER🌠
💪🏿
Where he belongs love ya cj

Dont know why Im cutting onions and watching this video.
💙
TY Sheila Ford Hamp🎉🎉🎉🎉
Imagine still being in your 30’s and you accomplished being arguably the best receiver in NFL history, hall of famer, and loved by an entire city…
Calvin for governor!
Welcome Home Megatron !!!!
Cool to see Cliff Avril there
Congratulations to Calvin Johnson
Salute Jamo for taking one for the team and "kinda" dunkin the hell out that ball in honor of a legend he will soon mirror for the Lions not as the Big throw it up in the air and get it but throw it as far as you like Jamo gonna go get it
All hail Megatron 😤
81 ❤
MEGATRON 💪💪💪🔥❤️
Goat
Golden Tate wearing his Seahawks Super Bowl ring while wearing his Detroit jersey is too funny 😂
was one of one
He thanked everyone but Stafford 😅
Stafford should be thanking Calvin. All those garbage time stats and throws to CJ lol
Thank you #81 for all the games you played with the Lions. GO LIONS!!! 🙂💯💯💯🙌🙌🦁🏈
Can we sign Megatron for the next few years? He deserves to get a ring or two 😏
MEGATRON MY MF GOAT 🐐 WR ALLDAY EVERYDAY!!!!🦁🔵⚪️⚫️ his 329 yrds vs the cowgirls will forever live in my head rent free
ALL. HAIL. MEGATRON. #GOLIONSGO
If we make the Super Bowl this year, we need to coax him out of retirement to play just one last time. I'm sure he's got enough left in the tank.
Imagine megatron with todays lions club
Think if he had a better QB, he would have definitely won a SB!
you don’t get much better than stafford
@@oofmcgoof6386 really, whatd he win here, in 13 seasons, with oh by the way the best WR in the game at the time? I'll wait......I get it's a team, not all on him, but, not even 1 playoff win Cmon
Imagine him on this current Lions team. They would be unstoppable.
@@mrzackattack261 RIGHT, unstoppable til he hit the other teams player in stride, and missed the playoffs every year, NO THANKS! Glad he won, too bad he couldn't here! Best trade ever done for this franchise! Could you imagine if we had done something like that with Barry, or Calvin what we would have had for them!!!
I wish Johnson and Barry. Could have won the superbowl .
MEGATRON 🦾
Golden Tate#15🤌🏾✊🏾💪🏾
I think an icon of the megatron toy should be next to his name, just sayin.
Not Calvin johnson to me.... ITS MEGATRON.. him and stafford made me a lions fan mostly MEGATRON!
Damm only if Matthew were there 😢😂
Go to LA.
@@LionClaw865 naw I love my city
