If I was to keep playing, I had to play in Detroit, and it just wasn't for me anymore.

It was cool to meet Cris Carter. That dude has some of the best hands to have played the game.

To be able to sit back and enjoy the game, sit back and watch guys that you know played and you might have worked with it or you personally know, it's cool; it's awesome to sit back and say I know that guy because you're more of a fan of that game and that person.
Calvin Johnson -
God gave me the ability, so why not? Go out there and play for Him. Maximize the talent He gave you.
Calvin Johnson -
My mom, she's the strict one. If we did something bad, we'd get a whippin' but nothing too bad.
Calvin Johnson -
I'm a Southern guy, so Jeezy, T.I., and Outkast are always playing on my iPod.
Calvin Johnson -
My phone blows up all the time. I had to change my number.
Calvin Johnson -
Be real with yourself in whatever area of your life and your game that you need improvement on. Once you figure that out, you just have to go out and work on it. For me, it's footwork. I constantly work on it, and it's a never-ending process.

I have my own people that make my clothes because it's hard for me to find stuff that fits.
Calvin Johnson -
All the energy, all the pain, sweat and tears that go into it, the amount I had to put in to get me to where I had to play, it was more taxing on me physically and mentally than it was good for me.
Calvin Johnson -
I know where my body's at, know how it feels, you know.
Calvin Johnson -
That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.
Calvin Johnson -
For me, to just have my own shoe is unbelievable. As a kid, you see Jordans and wonder what that feels like to have your own shoe, and the fact that I have one is really surreal.
Calvin Johnson -
Some days I wouldn't even go to class. I'd sit in the room and play video games with my friends and eat powdered mashed potatoes.
Calvin Johnson

It's easy to show off if you are making plays all the time. But it's not me.
Calvin Johnson -
I like to dress up every now and then.
Calvin Johnson -
That's everybody's goal, when they come to the league, is to win a Super Bowl. That's the ultimate goal.

I've got a lot of other things I want to do.
Calvin Johnson -
I've got nothing to be ashamed of.
Calvin Johnson -
I've been a Madden guy since I was little.
Calvin Johnson
-
Trying to be smarter, work smarter, and just take care of my body more and more.
Calvin Johnson -
I was able to do well for myself, make a statement in the league. I had a heck of a time doing it, but at the end of the day, it's about me and my family and being comfortable and being fun.
Calvin Johnson -
It wasn't really until the 10th or 11th grade when I started to play well, and football took the place of baseball, which was my love when I was five years old. I don't know what happened; baseball just got boring to me, I guess.
Calvin Johnson -
When I was in college, I used to love to watch football on Sundays.
