He ran a 4.35 or a 4.33 at the combine. Many articles mention one of those times. Google it.

When Bill Ford Jr. speaks, I listen! Utmost respect as he is the one responsible for finally getting rid of Millen. Can’t wait until he officially takes over for Dad, love his philosophy & passion…

Calvin is totally going get injured next season. He’s still worth the money.

So double the Larry Fitzgerald deal and it’ll happen. Ford’s got the bank so do it, Mr. Bigshot.

Carter may have been a fool for what he said, Billy, but your daddy is still William Clay Ford – that’s a taint you’ll never be rid of.

Megatron HAS to get the highest contract ever offered to a wideout. In fact, I may even say to give him the best contract ever. No one deserves it more then Megatron.

At the moment I believe Mr. Fitz is the highest paid receiver……like I said at the moment lol

Larry Fitzgerald is the best, then Calvin.

Not a Lions fan by any means but they need to get this done ASAP!! For some reason I kinda miss the Lions being a relevant team, (Ala Barry Sanders days) This will ensure that can happen!

Any team in their right mind would want this guy, and this is coming from a die hard pack fan. He’s the best there is. It’s baffling Carter even said that. CJ seems like a pretty humble guy too, that’s what makes him even more impressive.

Megatron, handsdown Top 3 wr’s, I’ve been a fan since he was drafted him along with Larry Fitz, Andre Johnson and my wr Miles Austin, they are all incredibly humble which I respect deeply

Cris Carter is terrible and Megatron is clearly the best WR in the game right now.

Maybe the Lions can get him to play corner back too, they need it.

Hate to praise anyone the Pack has to deal with twice a year, but what else can you say? Calvin Johnson is the best there is right now.

Calvin Johnson should get paid royalties any time someone refers to the “Calvin Johnson rule” of possession in the endzone.

I laugh to myself every year that a$$clown CC doesnt get in the HOF. And he will most certainly take credit for motivating megatron. What a douche. And Kya dont forget the buffoon leading that group on Sunday Morning.

does it matter what Cris Carter thinks? he’s not a top 5 NFL analyst (even on his own show).

Megatron is a prototype that no one has the blueprints to.

I may be wrong, but isn’t it dumb to tie up a ton of money in 1 wide receiver? Since when is 1 WR the key to winning a title? The key is to get a few receivers. Pats don’t have 1 superstar wr only. Giants don’t, Packers don’t, Saints don’t. Know who does? Arizona, Detroit, Miami, Carolina, San Diego…

Calvin J. and A.J Green are the new prototypes of NFL receivers.

Calvin was handicapped in Cris Carter’s evaluation because he was drafted by Detroit — which has a sad history of drafting stiff after stiff at the wide receiver position.

But the Loins did hit it right with Megatron and Carter should acknowledge that.

He deserves the biggest contract in NFL history — without him, Stafford has no one to throw to and Detroit is a 4-12 team.

And Calvin is a classy guy — no stomping from him.

To be fair to Chris Johnson and Vincent Jackson, they aren’t paid as much as Calvin Johnson is. His rookie contract was huge compared to theirs.

Go Lions!

Not sure why Carter is getting bashed here— The article does report that CC “retracted” his earlier opinion.

I’m a Vikings fan—Loved Carter’s playing ability, but the guy is– and always has been– a loudmouth.

I don’ think that anyone doubts how elite Calvin Johnson is now… But don’t be critical of someone being skeptical of a Lions first round WR becoming “elite”… History was not on Calvin’s side.

Calvin makes linebackers scared to defend across the middle when he comes through… lol

I laugh everytime Sunday Countdown comes on on Sun mornings. You have Tom Jackson studying film (isnt helping, he is still a putz) and then you have Carter catching passes (because that will help him as an analyst) and Keyshawn getting a suit tailored (again, like that will help as an analyst). Does anyone wonder why less and less people are watching the show…

The most dominant receiver in the game he changes the way defense plays,and that opens up so many hole for other wr’s.when lions get healthy lashoure and best back I see them winning 13-14 games next year,Super Bowl is on its way to Motown!!!

Detroit is fortunate to have Johnson. It is unfortunate that it took them three drafts to get it right.

Ford said he sees keeping Johnson and Matthew Stafford together for years to come as crucial to the franchise. Cap hell is the 800# gorilla in that room. Suh’s not playing for peanuts and neither are some other high buck players.
