Calvin Johnson

I have always been like this. I take after my father. I'm just chill.

Calvin Johnson

Bless my mom. Mom is everything to me.

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

I don't even like to talk Lions too much just because the way our relationship ended.

I've got nothing to be ashamed of.

Calvin Johnson

I feel fine as long I'm not running around.
