People seem to forget that, for a WR, Calvin Johnson wasn't that fast. If he played for a team other than the Lions, he's probably a Hall of Famer.
LOLOLOL!!!!! That's the dumbest thing that's ever been posted on the internet, jdoggivijc. LOLOLOL!!!!!

Start with
Calvin Johnson of Georgia Tech. If
Randy Moss is called The Freak, Johnson should be called Super Freak. Surprise filled the media room at the Indianapolis scouting combine Friday when Johnson revealed that he recorded 239 pounds at his combine weigh-in, about 12 pounds more than anyone expected. Minds flashed to Mike Williams' failures with the Lions.
Then, Johnson said he would wait until his March 15 workout at Georgia Tech to let everyone see his speed. Toying with the minds of scouts and the laws of reality, Johnson changed his mind. He borrowed a pair of running shoes and ran the 40-yard dash in an incredible 4.35 seconds on Sunday. Because Johnson is 6-foot-5 and 239 pounds, cornerbacks around the NFL must have cringed when they heard that.
"This season I played at about 235 and I got up to 238," Johnson said. "It's not a problem."
Send those borrowed shoes to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, because a legend was born Sunday in Indianapolis. Prompted by reporters' questions, Johnson wouldn't dismiss the notion that he is the best athlete in this draft.
