A distant planet outside our own solar system, Cybertron home of the Autobots and Decepticons. Countless wars between these two factions have occurred over centuries, and now the NFL has found their own Transformer.
Fortunately for mankind his name is Calvin Johnson, and not the true MEGATRON, but hey basically they have the same humongous body type. Calvin has a 6'5" height, he's 235 pounds, and can leap about three of me, probably. Just in case we need some more clarity to how ridiculous he is, here is his Sports Science profile.
On top of that you have to respect his humble approach to football. I mean he was drafted second overall back when the Lions were "meh". He had to go through the pain of 2008's 0-16 team....What's odd is that could have been the best thing for his career. The Lions got Matt Stafford, and yes QB's and WR's are paired, but Stafford has it easier because of this guy.
If you have watched any of Detroit's season you know when they do their whole "Come back from 24 down" thing the ball is flying towards Megatron, and more than likely it is either a TD or a HUGE catch.
This season Calvin also decided, he could be an MVP, at the very least the best WR in the NFL. I'd say that is correct. He tied Cris Carter's consecutive games with 2 TD's or more, he has a league leading 11 receiving TDs, and he only trails Jimmy Garham and Wes Welker for targets.
The Guy is just amazing, he reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald a couple of years ago, mixed with Jerry Rice, and then his own talents tossed into the stew. But really his combination is this:
This guy is ready to be November, and maybe a little bit of December's d00de of the month.
