Calvin Johnson Top 50 Most Unbelievable Plays of All-Time | NFL Highlights 

Absolutely

Should Andrew Luck be a HOFer?

@@derrellbrown7317 Andrew luck was never as dominant of a QB as Megatron was a WR. Not to mention luck also played less seasons than him

Brody 123 most definitely one of my all time favorite receivers.The legacy of megatron will never die.

Dumbest question I've seen in a long time. Of course he is.

Lions Are My Favorite Team, But I Really Really Wish They Never Drafted Sanders Nor Megatron, I Hate How They Wasted Their Generational Talents 😔

Chris Paul Herman Moore and Brett Perriman as well. Statistically the best receiving duo in NFL history, and we still couldn’t even win a playoff game smh. It’s hard being a Lions fan.

I don’t think u have a choice if u drafted😂

LionsPride Tell that to Eli Manning and John Elway

@@lionspride9367 right!

@@8015908 stafford is a great qb

@@YourMom-sr9ub i wouldn’t say great but he’s definitely not like ryan fitzpatrick

Its because he is so good obviously if u were a middle school qb and a 6'4 beast played on ur team of course ur gonna throw to him when hes covered

@@boneryard Bro Staford has more career yards then hall of fame players you don’t know what your talking about

@@8015908 ur wild statford is a really good qb and may be a hall famer

He’s in now!

@@devinbender8428 easily

Underrated comment

Now that he’s in the Hall of Fame, he should come out of retirement!

He’s the definition of a HOF wr… only thing he never achieved was a superbowl ring but look at the team he had. Same with Barry sanders, same with Dan Marino, same with Tony Gonzales, etc… a superbowl doesn’t validate your hall of fame status. Doesn’t matter position.

He is truly missed. And this is coming from the dude who's favorite team he torched for that 329 receiving yards and basically mossed our secondary all afternoon

Yup. His and Patrick Willis’ abrupt retirements both hurt more than Luck retiring

I’m a lions fan

sds606 what’s the point of being luck into this as a comparison?

The Lions is like death row

Miss watching him so much, you knew you were watching possibly the most special player to put pads on. Generational player and even better person

He was the only redeeming quality of being a Lions fan.

Seahawks stopped him and he retired

@@Loganbub Very true. Still die-hard but it's not the same.

@@Loganbub So true. Well said

Add in 4 .35 speed yah man freak o nature

@@bradleytaylor67 yeah his speed at that size is what blows my mind everytime

He's not "literally" a monster. He's "figuratively" a monster.

Plus 4.3 40 and 240 lbs, unreal

footwork craaazy

Usain Bolt

Cameron Belanger Ya you’re right about the 40. It’s less than 2/5 of a 100 meter dash. Usain is not nearly the fastest in the first 40 yards of his runs, many of those Olympic runners ahead of him are running 4.2 40s. But then he passes them all up and wins. There was one thing you didn’t consider tho cause NFL GMs do care about the first quarter of a 40 for oline and dline

Um you're describing randy moss ? Calvin sure af didn't have olympian speed or the illusiveness of a running back LOL

@Cameron Belanger This is such bullshit. No offence, but "Usain Bolt" does not have average acceleration among WR's. Among Olympic sprinters maybe, and that's the best 8 in the world. Calvin Johnson was fast. Extremely fast. A super freak of nature.. but there were quite a few people that were faster (and quicker). Look at him get chased down against Dallas in this video. Hell, Sam Shields was guarding him at one point and would straight up outrun him in a sprint. And Randy Moss would straight up blow right past him. The same Randy Moss that wasn't faster than people like Bob Hayes or Darrell Green.

NBA dunker isn’t a postion, nobody has made it to the HOF off dunk ability and the runner comment is stupid as well

Thats a FACT !

Who better ? Calvin or Julio Jones ?

@@Turtlemilk Julio

spiced Calvin in my opinion. He was just unfortunate with having to play with a terrible organization his entire career. They literally made him retire early🤣🤦🏽‍♂️

@@RedWingz802 Well I am pretty biased look at pfp but I can see why you think Calvin is better, he only had a good qb for a few seasons while Julio has had Matty Ice all his career

Rice’s 1995 season was far better and Rice was 33 years old. Calvin was 27 in the prime of his career.

@@357twilsonit’s nice having Steve Young.

@@chadf1368 yeah Steve young is the reason Rice was successful. So if Steve Young was the reason why Rice was successful, why isn’t Matthew Stafford the reason why Calvin was successful? You see that is a laughable argument. Jerry was an all world player no matter who was his QB

@@357twilson it’s nice having Steve Young.

​@@357twilsonbro's everywhere in the comments hyping up Rice, this video ain't about Rice though now ain't it lmao

What's Ballot?

1st time hearing about this. thats hilarious lmaoooo

how to make an idiot of yourself, lol

@@Stupefii EXACTLY ! MEGATRON !

I thought he played 9

I think it's cuz he thinks he's different cuz he has 4 rings and a superbowl mvp

not could've, would've. Stafford threw ducks when he was with calvin, the best thing for Stafford was when Calvin retired because it made him into a QB who had to throw to humans, not artificial life forms. If Stafford had the accuracy he does now, back than. Calvin would have 5 out of the top 10 of the most receiving yards for a single season.

Nah because he's like Moss in the way that made QBs just cut the ball loose. Stafford wouldt have thrown those balls if Megatron wasn't te target

exactly. you normally don’t make throws like that. but when you’ve got a talent like calvin johnson who’s capable of catching a jump ball in triple coverage you’ll want to see what else he can do for you.

Most definitely he had like 3 guys on him at all times

It's just not fair having a guy the size of a TE with the skills of a small receiver.

Yes the most dominant receiver of all time..... Jerry is the greatest easily but Talent wise there is no other Moss or Calvin J

Lol this is a laughable comment. Rice was far more dominant and a much better player/receiver than Calvin or Moss or anyone else. I’m so sick of these young kids saying Moss is the most talented or Calvin is the most talented. Jerry was more talented than all of them.

@@357twilsonnah your comment is laughable honestly

@@boxcat2277 exactly how is my comment laughable?

@@357twilsonCJ Averaged over a yard more per reception than rice over his career, had half as many yards as rice despite playing in 44% of the games so he had a good shot at surpasses rice had he played as long as rice did. CJ also averaged 10 receiving yards more per game over rice

Him n Andre Johnson top 5 in those days

it's funny cuz the raiders didn't and then they had jamarcus russell

Tim that draft had Joe Thomas, Megatron, AP and Patrick Willis and they took Russel #1 lmfao the best LT, WR, RB, and ILB of their eras and all time elite guys

Pouch King I spent my high school years as a Raiders fan during the Jamarcus Russel era. Dark times.

@@Loganbub also Marshawn Lynch

On god my brother like 6ft3 I'm 4ft9

look up loiter squad lionel highlights pt 1. Thats what calvin was like

My guy was like “this is backyard football why mfs fo competitive”

NFL gods made it fair by putting him on the Lions.

@@ChefofWar33 facts they had to even it out somehow

He wasn’t the most talented. Randy Moss was.

@@BOOLsheet sorry CJ was a vacuum

Never ever say never but overall yes CJ was more talented than Randy Moss

Cj was moss if moss was a little slower, couldn't jump as high, slightly worse at catching....he was stronger than moss ill give him that

@@gokugohan9000 Megatron > Moss ..much better blocker, better breaking tackle's, yards after the catch, never took plays off, no diva behavior. Best wide receiver ever to be honest. Just don't have the big games, bc the cursed franchise that is the Detroit lions. Ppl just now realizing how good Stafford is, would be more amazed with Megatron

Nobody arguing that julio was ever the best player in his division for a season. Let alone the league. Let alone a decade. You nuts.

Now there’s DK metcalf

​@@Netsfan24😂😂

@@Netsfan24hell na u jokin

Do some research goofy

This is the reason he only played 8-9 years. The guy was getting beat up physically.

Julio lmao

Daniel Bras he’s elite but not at megatrons level

@TheTexasRanger 25 no where near what Calvin was

Jefferson

I mean look at the reaction of the Backs after he makes the catches. It’s a mix of WTF and damnit. They do everything right. But a guy that’s 6’5” and jumps 4’ with a 3’ reach. Yea good luck. Welcome to the HOF Megatron

Dk isnt a strong or fast

I think DK need Megatron mindset too

Michael C route running wasn’t his strong suit lmao, their better than average but for his level star they were nothing compared to this other skills

He had HOF talent. But he quit early. The numbers won't support it. And if they do it won't be soon.

Who better ? Calvin or Julio Jones ?

@@TheStranger513 come again ?

@@de5913 Forgot I said this. Clearly I knew nothing lol. Still surprised he got in 1st ballot off of only 9 years. Congrats to him though.

Don't have kids we don't need anymore Eagle fans

Maxwell Lewis even with the attempt to make it fair, it will still be unfair.

What is funny is how the viewers do not connect the dots that his play is PART OF THE REASON THEYRE DOWN...Guy barely scored

clearly you missed all the TDs in this highlight reel

Orlando Brown yall love defending these bum ass lions 😭😂

Orlando Brown excuses excuses

But 90% of those games they came back and won it

Facts. Just throw it up and watch magic happen haha.

Me too. He's not a prima donna like Moss.

he also liked to block too. he is the most talented wide receiver of all time. imagine putting him on the lions now, he would be way more successful. the lions have a way better running game, TE, and solid receivers so you cant put 3 guys on him

Did his name become a verb like moss?

DK Metcalf looks crazy but I dont think he can ball out and be dominant like CJ was.

@@StealthSwith19136 he's physically a beast but his route running abilities aren't very good. That's why he fell all the way to the 64th pick

Larry Legend is a GOAT what the hell are you talking about he was second overall pick

Hornetb11 lmao😂

Uhh…ever heard of a guy named Jerry Rice?

Revis was the only guy to shut him down while he was heathy

@@venomousviper3691 Rice was NOT better if you compare their primes. Rice would be 3rd in my view behind Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson. The reason Rice is considered the “greatest” is because he had the greatest CAREER. In my view that is very different from who was the BEST at his PEAK. Jerry Rice simply isn’t capable or even close to capable of doing what Calvin and Randy did on the field. Both of them were much faster, could jump higher, had equally good hands (better in Randy Moss’s case), had a much larger catch radius, and were simply better overall in contested situations. There are more WR who when comparing peaks are in the same tier as Rice, and you could argue reasonably for either side. Antonio Brown, Marvin Harrison, Julio Jones, Deandre Hopkins, Sterling Sharpe, with several more right around that tier. Those are just off the top of my head, and it has recency bias. There’s no need to worship Jerry Rice as untouchable. The thing he was truly untouchable at was career longevity while maintaining excellence. He definitely had the career with the most cumulative added value to offenses. That’s indisputable, but the best at their best/in their prime? He just lacks the absolute elite athleticism of freaks of nature in Moss and Calvin.

Can’t believe I forgot to mention Larry Fitz and TO as WR in that same Rice tier at their peaks.

@@GoZags43 just because you have freak athleticism doesn’t mean you’re the goat. Look at Jamarcus Russell. Rice didn’t have the size Calvin had or the speed Moss had, but he’s just better. (Even in his prime. Get to that later) Look at Tom Brady. He never had the strongest arm or the fastest legs, but he is the GOAT among QBs. Or Cooper Kupp, the man who dominated every stat category this year. What does he run, a 4.6? He’s not even 200 pounds. But he still is the best WR in the game rn. Same with Rice. Moss in his 6 year prime: 1395 yards, 12.8TDs per season, 15.8 average Calvin in his 6 year prime: 1424 yards 10.3TDs per season, 16.1 average Rice in his 11 year prime:1404 yards, 13.7TDs per season, 15.7 average He is arguably better is his prime

Matt Jones was literally a white version of this guy. Physically at least

Bob Pants I never even knew he existed. That’s crazy

He is the goat i agree

wow like 50 times imagine that

. . . and Stafford is in 35 of these.

Matthews is not that bad

He's not bad he just never had good support

Never thought about that. It would be insane.

Howard Slocum brady has moss

Zach Pfeiffer what you commented just shows how amazing of a WR Calvin was.

Stafford didnt watch film, by his own admission, for his first five seasons because he claimed it didnt help since Calvin was defended like no other player in NFL history.

​@@Jay-ft3xh That's one of the hardest things I've ever heard

SouthSide Chicago 😂😂😂

and packer fans lmao

Link?

@@tylerspringstube4868 search "Calvin Johnson the Catch"

YOU AND ME BOTH LEO ! YOU AND ME BOTH !

Most talented receiver of all time.

Randy moss

@@hahajsj5407 he would be right after Calvin for me

@@Leostunzz randy moss is faster tho

RasheedThe88 most of the time

THATS MY QUARTERBACK :(

50% jump balls 🤣

keljerel yeah big strides

Watch randy moss highlights

@@demanistewart845watch Jerry Rice highlights lol. The true greatest is Jerry Rice by a mile.

*Jerry Rice

Randy a great arguement, CJ and Randy my 1-2…..Jerry 3

@@meechmiliyan8965 there is no legit argument one can make for any receiver to be ahead of Jerry Rice. Those guys are not close to Rice. I could prove that in countless different ways. There’s literally no metric that can be weighed to say either guy is better. How???

Yea but Calvin’s 10x the WR.

not Sauer You mean the jump balls between 3 defenders?

Azharul Tambir first wtf is that name and second he didn’t say throw decision

Neal Pomerantz lmao I ain’t even see his response. But dude still caught it 🤷‍♂️ Scrambling, ain’t set his feet, and as he gets hit launching it 50+ yards to where only Calvin can catch it. DOT.

Unbelievable arm talent combined with football sense.

Stafford completed 435 passes in 2012 [I'm just using one example] Calvin caught 122 of those, he spread the ball around actually.

Jay Mar Stafford has actually been a better QB after Calvin Johnson left. When Megatron was playing, the entire offense revolved around him. Stafford has been better at spreading the ball around since then.

@@gregatron4528 dont get me wrong im a Stafford fan but I'm talking big play stats how many of those completions were chunk yard plays or TDs I know he can spread the ball as decent as any other QB in the nfl

@@ibleedpurple52 Stafford still had 3 straight 4k season without Megatron.

Stupid. Stafford is also a generational talent. CJ benefitted from Stafford's arm strength too.

Joey Cramer Lmaoo I can see

Because they suck

But loved it when he racked up 329 yards against the Cowboys

Luke Sanchez the Packers are the only team owned by the fans

Joey Cramer lmao yea the one franchise with fans who can say that 😂

Thanos how tall was he ?

Turtlemilk - 6’5

Turtlemilk - with a 40 inch vert

I’d want a team

The camera angle at 9:22 shows it perfectly. His timing and adjustment are as good as it gets on that catch. Perfect, really. I must have watched that catch at least 10 times in a row before watching the rest of the video.

I'm a Lions fan. I use to get into heavy arguments because I was and still is a huge Megatron fan. He could come out of retirement and still be one of the best.

There 4 different guys who could all reasonably say they're the best lol

@Chris Paul Schaub led the league in passing one year while andre was there. And megatron didnt have stafford his whole career. In this video alone you see passes from Orlovsky, Kitna, Culpepper, and Stanton. Not exactly an all star cast there

Chris Paul Matt Schaub was nice with the Texans tho

@Grandmaster Flex one year... please ask any Texan fan who has been watching them for a long time... we would all laugh at ya

No one unserrated him

Most overrated no question.

@@patrickr2691 agree.

He's not the most overrated or underated

patrick r u dumb af
