    Calvin Johnson is the best receiver I've ever had the chance to watch. I have a vivid memory of waking up on a cold, snowy morning near Chicago, Illinois and watching the Lions on a snowy Sunday afternoon. Watching Calvin go up, grab that ball and come down get a facemask full of snow is something I'll never forget. One of my favorite moments ever. And it was just a normal play for Calvin. Legend.

His humility is a testament to the amazing human being he is. I truly wish he would have gotten the opportunity to play for a team that was a championship contender. Through all of the team disappointments he still managed to define what a true TEAM player is. Thanks to the Pivot team for another awesome conversation. ❤🙏🏾

    My Megatron story is at a training camp in 2014. My son was in line for an autgraph session. He walked out w Slay & Mathis prior to practice, so was so geeked and happy w how cool they were. Well, behind us in line, was a kid w down syndrome. Calvin, Stafford, Bush, Dan O, etc, were going to a corporate tent to sign autographs and take pictures. Calvin actually walked over to the kid behind us w down syndrome and started signing stuff for this kid. He ghosted everyone else, but still, the character he has to do that. That was amazing. Megatron has a heart of gold.

    Man, this episode with cannabis is crazy how true it is. I was a baseball player and had a bad shoulder injury that doctors tried to fix with opiates. It didn't do anything but make it worse and developed a habit for a long time. I've been so we now for almost a decade and am very fortunate for that. Cannabis helped me so much to get the right medicine through the end of my therapy with this injury, and now I have a job where I have drug screenings and don't do anything anymore, but, if not, id still be smoking. Cannabis does so many good things for the body and I hate how it's still looked at as bad.

      That’s an average of 8 catches 147 yards and 2 touchdowns per Super Bowl. Rice had 3 touchdowns in two separate Super Bowl appearances. Jerry Rice has a 215 yard receiving game in a Super Bowl. He had over 10 catches in two separate Super Bowls. He had over 148 yards receiving in 3 separate Super Bowls. There is simply no receiver comparable that you can measure to Jerry Rice.

    The older you get(whether in sports or at work), the longer the recovery time is and the more difficult it becomes. Winning makes playing through the pain seem worth it! 0-16 will most definitely make retirement look like a more viable option... especially if you are financially stable.

    Megatron's sister went to Clark Atlanta and we was talking. Funny how she told me that her brother played football and he is good at GTech. Didn't even know that was him back then. Megatron your sister was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 back at Clark bro

    Born and raised in Nairobi; Kenya. In 2002 after doing well in my High School placement exam, my old man bought me a used PS1 and it came with only one CD, Madden NFL. Now games back then cost too much to ask my parents to get me another (FIFA was what I really wanted) so it was learn the sport or forget about playing games on the PS.Took a bit but I learned the basics of (American) football there and then.
    Fast forward to October 2013 Watched my first full game in 2013. In our Country (Kenya) only paid subscription offered ESPN and I could now afford it plus the time difference had a prime time game at 3am to 4am in the morning. Wanna guess which game it was? Yep, that game v the Cowboys where he went off for 300 yards. At the time I didn’t know exactly why the commentators were going wild about his performance for but one name kept coming up. Even then I knew Megatron was special. This man may or may not be the best ever for some people but personally, He is the one for me man! Considered just what I saw that day and the fact that he was the reason I have literally not missed a playoff or superbowl game for over a decade to date and have found a love for this game that I doubt will ever fade. God Bless you Megatron. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪

    I know Jerry hold the record for stats and rings but if I'm starting a team the first WR I'm picking is Megatron. You put him in Jerry spot on the 49ers and they winning eight straight super bowls.
