QUOTES BY 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.

I'm a Southern guy, so Jeezy, T.I., and Outkast are always playing on my iPod.

I was a baseball guy. Mom wouldn't let me play football when I was little because she was scared I'd get hurt. So, I finally convinced her to let me play in 7th grade.

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.

I have my own people that make my clothes because it's hard for me to find stuff that fits.

I like to dress up every now and then.

That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.

I've been a Madden guy since I was little.

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.
