I can have three touchdowns and 200 yards, but if we lose the game, what's it all for?
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
Whatever you want to call it, they have all these names for these coverages, I've seen them. Like those linemen coming out to jam me on the line of scrimmage. A lot of crazy stuff.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
Sometimes, it's just unfortunate you get injured in the game. But you can definitely take strides to prevent those things.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
Even if the coverage is leaning toward you or whatever it may be, there's ways to beat it.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
When I first came into the league, my first three, four years, I had a teammate from college win a Super Bowl.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
It's a part of football, you get concussed, you gotta keep on playing. You can't get afraid to go across the middle any more than you were at the beginning.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
All of us growing up, if you're a professional player or a college player, you're molding your game after guys. You see guys, you see things guys do. Like Randy Moss, I'm a Randy Moss guy.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
Each year, you've got to talk about it more and more, you've got to have programs. You're doing these camps, you've got to talk about concussion awareness.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
If you feel like you've got a concussion, if you don't know, if you take the test whatever, if you feel like you've got a concussion, the biggest thing is rest, man. Cause you usually compound your injury so much if you go back out there, and we all know that now.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
You love the game, but it's hard to do the things you do when you're feeling like you're a leg down all the time, literally. Or you're always beat up, even coming into the season. So it's just not as fun when you're down, and you got to work your way up. And you can't really get there because you're so beat up.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
That's everybody's goal, when they come to the league, is to win a Super Bowl. That's the ultimate goal.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I'm on 'Dancing with the Stars' because I want to prove my sister wrong. My sister literally told the world that I could not dance, so I have to redeem myself.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
My biggest regret is that I wasn't able to help give our fans a championship.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I gotta go through, like, a little routine when I wake up in the morning to get everything functioning and ready to go. But, the only thing is everything just goes back to gridlock so fast once I sit down, 'cause you know you go to work again.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
The team needs me out there on the field. And sometimes you allow that to jeopardize yourself, but that's just the nature of the world.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I don't even like to talk Lions too much just because the way our relationship ended.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
The thing I don't miss is waking up in the morning, hurting, the grind of the game.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I got chronic stuff that everybody has when they're done playing football for any length of time. So the good thing is I'm able to walk. I feel good. I'm able to spend more time with the fam.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I got a finger that's literally bone-on-bone. This bad boy, it gets smaller. The more and more I do, it grinds bone-on-bone.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I had fun while I did it, and I left it all out there on the field. I'm tapped out.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
The team doctor, the team trainers, they work for the team. And I love 'em, you know. They're some good people, you know. They want to see you do good. But at the same time, they work for the team, you know. They're trying to do whatever they can to get you back on the field and make your team look good.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
It's simple to get a concussion, you know. I don't know how many I've had over my career, you know, but I've definitely had my fair share.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
Concussions happen. If not on every play, then they happen like every other, every third play, you know.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
If I was to keep playing, I had to play in Detroit, and it just wasn't for me anymore.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
You know what's funny? There's times when you catch a ball and really didn't even see that ball. You're like, 'That couldn't have been all me.'
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
During the season, I dodge the media, kind of. It's not that I'm trying to avoid them, but I know if they get a hold of me, there's going to be, like, 10 people around me, and I'm going to have to answer question after question, where in that time, after practice, I need to be taking care of my body and recovering.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
As NFL players, we have such a platform to spread the Word of God. And that is an area I don't mind speaking out on at all. As far as talking about my football skills, however, I will let my abilities and actions speak for themselves.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.
Quote by -Calvin Johnson
I have my own people that make my clothes because it's hard for me to find stuff that fits.
