#81 Calvin Johnson   Pos: Wide Receiver NFL Team: DET Injury: OK Experience: 5 College: Georgia Tech Height: 77 Weight: 236 Born: 9/29/1985  Year   Tm   Gm   Catch   Yds   TDs   Tgt   Rush   Yds   TDs   Fum  PROJ DET 92 1319 13 0 5 41 0 2010 DET 16 77 1120 12 137 4 32 0 0 2009 DET 14 67 984 5 136 7 73 0 2 2008 DET 16 78 1331 12 - 3 -1 0 2 2007 DET 15 48 756 4 - 4 52 1 0 SUMMARY Wide Receiver Rank: #4    Overall: #19 Johnson was healthy much of the season and it showed in his play. He neared career highs across the board, catching 77 passes for 1,120 yards and 12 touchdowns. Johnson was a consistent factor in the Lions' passing game. He had four 100-yard games and two games with double-digit receptions. Johnson posted these big numbers without his No. 1 quarterback (Matthew Stafford) about the entire season. If Stafford can stay healthy, Johnson should see his numbers improve. Johnson is a big receiver with top speed and the knack for making the big play. He will drop a few passes on occasion, but more than makes up for that because of his top playmaking ability. He is an amazing athlete, capable of making the circus catch. Johnson has double-digit touchdowns and 1,000-yard seasons two of the four in the league. FANTASY OUTLOOK Johnson can be the top fantasy receiver in the game, especially if Stafford can stay healthy. He is capable of just the monster game, making him a top No. 1 for fantasy teams. Expect a career season in 2011 for Johnson. He can get 90 receptions for 1,300 yards and 15 touchdowns if all the pieces fall in place. 2012-02-03 14:53:09 Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand said the team is working on a contract extension with WR Calvin Johnson. The team likely will save salary cap space if they sign Johnson to a new deal because his cap number is expected to be over $20 million next season.

Ford is also adamant about getting WR Calvin Johnson signed to a long-term extension. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-23 18:53:11 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson is interested in signing an extension with the team, as he is scheduled to become a free agent after the 2012 season. 'Yeah, definitely, we're going to see here - soon,' Johnson said. 'We're going to have some talks soon, and hopefully get things rolling.' Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-12 14:53:10 Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said the team would like to sign WR Calvin Johnson to a long-term contract extension because his is entering the last year of his contract and his salary cap hit will be around $20 million in 2012.

Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-10 12:13:11 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson said making the playoffs this season has changed the expectations to those of a team that expects to be a perennial playoff contender. 'We took some strides (as a team) this year,' Johnson said. '(Despite finishing 10-6), there's some things we can improve on. We're looking forward to doing that.' Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-10 10:13:12 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson, who will be entering the final year of his contract in 2012, was not interested in answering questions about whether he wants a long-term deal before next season. Johnson probably can command a contract similar to the one Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald signed before the season (eight-year, $120 million contract with guarantees approaching $50 million). 'I'm not even going to talk about that right now,' Johnson said. 'I'm about to go home.' Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-07 23:43:11 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson broke the Wild Card NFL playoff record for receiving yards in the game Saturday, Jan. 7, against the New Orleans Saints. He finished with 12 receptions for 211 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson's 211 yards were also good for a franchise postseason record. He is also the first player in NFL history to have 200 or more receiving yards in his playoff debut. Fantasy Impact: Johnson showed off his skills in this game. He is the best receiver in the game right now. Source: KFFL.com 2012-01-06 22:43:10 Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson earned his first career All-Pro nod Friday, Jan. 6, receiving 49 of a possible 50 votes by The Associated Press voters. He racked up 96 receptions for 1,681 yards with 16 touchdowns. He is the first Lions offensive player to earn first-team honors since 1997, when former RB Barry Sanders was named to the team.
