Kyle Pitts reminds me a bit of Calvin Johnson. I mean Pitts had over 1,000 yards as a rookie TE. I think he could end up being a similar type of talent, although Megatron is a once-in-a-lifetime type of player, so who knows.
Fr would have loved to see him do what Randy did towards the end of his career. Go play for an All Pro QB. Imagine if would’ve linked w Rodgers or Brees in his last years.
John lemay Lemay I never said Stafford wasn’t good. But when I mention all pro, no one think Stafford. That’s kinda my point there’s really no all pro qbs in whack teams. So if he would’ve linked w a superstar qb he really wouldn’t be dealing w a team that’s “rebuilding” every year.
Say what you want but Detroit has Thee GOAT WR and Thee GOAT RB They both could have went to any team they wanted and they’ve both only played for 1 NFL Team.
Nowhere near a Lions fan but damn i love this guy. Such a gifted talent and it's a pity he retired so young. Would have been amazing to see him play a few more years.
I don’t blame him for retiring young, he was an astounding receiver for years, always Stafford’s go to guy, and they just didn’t have a team around them. He could probably still hold his own, imagine Kenny Golladay and Megatron. Lions fans would probably be singing a different tune 🤷🏻♂️
As a UGA fan, I’ve been watching Calvin Johnson since he was at tech..he’s the most gifted receiver to ever play the game of football..he legit has the height of a small forward in the nba and ran a 4.4 at the combine..he had over 1600 hundred yards and 15 tds and the next season he broke the record with 1964 rec yards in single season..best to ever do it
Even though he is pretty quiet compared to some other guys, I'm glad this video exists because I never knew how humble and kind CJ was before and after committing manslaughter on the field.
I feel u bro and If you would like to play Virtual Bingo with Calvin on February 27th let me know and I’ll get you all the details 👍🏽 but he probably won’t talk much on the zoom though😂
Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford, Ndamakomg Suh, Herman Moore, Barry Sanders. Just some talented players either ruined or nearly ruined by the Lions. Also forgot Darius Slay as nearly ruined. Hope that Golladay doesn’t fall in this category
How did he even hold onto the ball with some of those hits? Guaranteed double coverage every down he lined up? Moss is my favorite and Rice was a beast but if that ain't the GOAT, what is?
Greatest waste of a career ever! A damn shame that man didnt win a title. Mad respect to stay loyal to a losing franchise like that and not jump ship. Which lets be real 31 other teams would of loved to have him.
Wonder what his numbers would have been like if he played at least five more years. Him and Randy are the two biggest freaks pro football has ever seen. MEGATRON ✈️ HOF.
The lions are lucky they got Calvin Johnson and Barry sanders but Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders are not lucky to get drafted by the lions who else agrees with me
@NFL FILMS-He’s actually saying “we’re BACK baby!” Not “BAD baby” as it reads in the title. 15:05, 15:08, and the commentator repeats it as well during the replay at around 15:11. Friendly fyi.🤷🏽♂️Absolutely LOVE the video tho! Very very good work!!
Hey, I actually edited this show. I appreciate y'all for watching. Hopefully it brought back as many great memories for you as it did for me. Much love and GOOOOOOOOOOO Lions.
My childhood is based on making this man over and over in madden. and by that I mean super tall, fast, quick, and generally not possible human of a player.

bro im not even a lions fan and watching Matty and Calvin joke around hurts, could have been a Brady Gronk, Brees Mike kinda dou and actully win with the right organization around them
WIth the right organization he would get a loss less targets and they'd atually let him miss games because of his injuries. Everyone says he would've been better with the right organization. It would be better for him and he would have played longer ut he wouldn't have put up the same numers with half the targets and the organizations allowing im to miss time.
3 receivers Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson & Randy Moss. Could've played any era in the NFL. If they were playing now greater success would be theirs. The way the offenses r geared,. oh yes.
Height of a TE, built like a receiver, speed of an elite running back. Near 1700 yards on less than 100 receptions. 3 seasons over 105 yards/game. Literally the best to ever do it.
That’s not what he said. He said, We back baby. He twisted his ankle and was out 5 weeks. 1st game back, against the dolphins. And he frickin’ popped ‘em for 7 rec. 113 yds and a touchdown.
Imagine teams really practicing preparing specifically to stop you from catching the ball. They worked on the plays countless of times just for him to still catch it even tho it’s “Calvin time”
Aye people never disrespect megatron again saying Dk gonna be better this man is 2 inches taller the same weight and just as fast not to mention an even bigger catch radius
Dudes built like a tight end but with the speed of a receiver, genetics just arent fair man
Man is just a freakier Julio and Julio is already freaky enough 😭
He’s really not built like a TE though. He’s incredibly lean. A once in a generation physical freak giant wide out.
The man ran a 4.35 40
Maybe DK Metcalf 🤷🏾♂️

I’m a Detroit fan and I have a pair of Calvin’s gloves, he gave them to me at training camp. Best sports memory ever
If you would like to play Virtual Bingo with Calvin on February 27th let me know and I’ll get you all the details 👍🏽
How big were the said gloves?
Calvin Johnson IMO is the most genetically gifted player I've seen play in the NFL.
In his position.👍
TO was better
Tyde TO was more genetically gifted
Chris Cahill negative sir. You must be smoking
Randy mosss!!!
he was always an absolute beast, sadly he played for Detroit
Hey but he never would have had those stats without all that garbage time and no run game
I'm from Michigan n you ain't never lied... Barry Sanders too dam shame

Since Bobby Layne
It's Crespo Yo I hate that guy

They both could have went to any team they wanted and they’ve both only played for 1 NFL Team.
im a lions fan and i agree
@@CSDonohue11 Hes up there mt Rushmore for sure. I'd put him 4th behind randy, jerry, and TO in that order.
Lord why did this man have to be drafted by the lions😭
so that detroit can have something to look back on instead of pain
If my Raiders got him instead of Russell, then he would still be playing. We sucked but not to a 0-16 extent
Penny Omega the lions has definitely been better than the raiders since 07 so I doubt it
Seriously
I think the teams that drafted in front of us were the stupidest
Basically Calvin Johnson highlights with everybody else miked up
That man was literally crickets 😂 He make the play and let his opponents do that talking. Now that's respect.
Twitter has had it
Calvin was so humble. Dude knew he was better than everyone on the field, but never tore anyone down. Truly will never see another like him.
Nowhere near a Lions fan but damn i love this guy. Such a gifted talent and it's a pity he retired so young. Would have been amazing to see him play a few more years.

Good
How bout amazing
For me, he's the greatest WR ever, most talented and skilled, insane!
Megatron Forever.

I'd be quiet too if I was breaking records every game n we still losing
I think you’re missing the reason for why he’s quiet. Just listen to what the coach says to him at the beginning.
🤣🤣damn
I don’t blame him for retiring young, he was an astounding receiver for years, always Stafford’s go to guy, and they just didn’t have a team around them. He could probably still hold his own, imagine Kenny Golladay and Megatron. Lions fans would probably be singing a different tune 🤷🏻♂️
Stop it
You think one good receiver would have helped him? He needed to not be on the lions. No one does.
I mean a 30 something year old megatron isn't that much etter than Marvin Jones. Sounds nasty but right now the other LIons WRs are pretty solid
Lions would still find a way to lose, dude. 1-12 in the playoffs the past 50 years, 1 Championship in the past 60. Tough for lions fans
They needed a defense around him, then maybe at least one or two playoff runs
As a UGA fan, I’ve been watching Calvin Johnson since he was at tech..he’s the most gifted receiver to ever play the game of football..he legit has the height of a small forward in the nba and ran a 4.4 at the combine..he had over 1600 hundred yards and 15 tds and the next season he broke the record with 1964 rec yards in single season..best to ever do it

Who wouldn't wanna have the nickname Megatron? 1 of the coolest of all time.
Im not even talking about his genes. He was gifted in ability also. He is top 5 receivers on the history for me.
Congrats on making it to the hall, Megatron! You are a beast. You deserved it!
and he's only 35 still!! could still be tearing up the league if he wanted to
Calvin Johnson is the greatest receiver of all time

lions fan And 16 other people agreed with me, so it’s obvious that my point is valid.
Brow Master I agree

Slay getting wasted by my eagles atm 😭😂
How did he even hold onto the ball with some of those hits? Guaranteed double coverage every down he lined up? Moss is my favorite and Rice was a beast but if that ain't the GOAT, what is?
If I'm picking an all-time starting lineup today? Those are my guys, 100%, but god knows who I call my number 1, oh my lord

He’s making some of the league’s best corners look like children out there
They did a sports science on him, he literally has the catch radius of a two car garage it's the craziest thing
Just overall I don't think there is going to be another Calvin in a long time.
Dk Metcalf
@@who5613 dk metcalf still won't have the highlight reel like megatron. n dk is an inch and a half shorter
@@MegaMateo If the Raiders split Waller out wide and played him like a WR he'd look a little like Megatron.
@@VLOClTY i agree he would look like him but we know the truth
@@who5613 lol that’s a joke right 😂 dk ain’t no where near Calvin man. Honestly calvin is the best to ever do it just didn’t ply 20 years like jerry
Best nickname
Greatest waste of a career ever! A damn shame that man didnt win a title. Mad respect to stay loyal to a losing franchise like that and not jump ship. Which lets be real 31 other teams would of loved to have him.
Really sucks that we didn’t get to see him keep playing. He was a lab created monster.
Calvin johnson could make any qb look good. Just throw the ball anywhere in his vicinity hes making the catch.
And that’s EXACTLY what happened !
The most talented WR I have ever seen

Was a blessing to watch him Detroit will never be the same 🤦🏾♂️
I think its “We back, baby”. It was against a game in 2014 against the Dolphins.
I been waiting for this since he retired . Thank you nfl films 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Megatron the best & a beast in the red zone

Every team is lucky for the good players that they have/had on their team
Unfortunately they were not lucky to be on the Lions
Gtfoh talking about my Lions
Loved watching CJ. Barry is the only other player that I saw that could be unstoppable 💯🦁🐐🐐
Anybodty nicknamed "Megatron" is a legend.

Absolute monster
“AND he faster than errybody on the field” 😂
pat pete said "oH" 10:45
Twice
damn never seen pat not look like he was playing against elementary class
Greatest talent to ever grace the WR Position.

13:21 best moment lol
Never saw him play but he seems like a BEAST
Bano he’s talked about, just not often because his career was so short. Absolute monster, but he ended his career early
Megatron looked so sore walking to that podium. I see what he meant about his knees being so messed up in that clip. 😞
Wasnt the quote "we back baby" not " bad" if I remember he came back off an injury against Miami and popped off
We miss you cj

Closest thing we got to Megatron is Kenny Golladay.

Him and Stafford was the best qb/wr combo we've ever seen honestly. What do y'all think?
81 the best wR # of all time
Jerry Rice but he is definitely top 5
Stafford was throwing some questionable balls 😳 C.J really be saving his ass
Matt Stafford says he was taught to throw like there’s no safety with Calvin
bro im not even a lions fan and watching Matty and Calvin joke around hurts, could have been a Brady Gronk, Brees Mike kinda dou and actully win with the right organization around them
WIth the right organization he would get a loss less targets and they'd atually let him miss games because of his injuries. Everyone says he would've been better with the right organization.
