Heart of a Hall of Famer - Calvin Johnson

by Pro Football Hall of Fame

The program provides students the opportunity to learn firsthand what it took beyond athletic ability to achieve success on and off the field.

Calvin Johnson Jr., a 6’5”, 237-pound wide receiver out of Georgia Tech, was a two-time All-American who received the 2006 Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top receiver and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of The Year. He was drafted second overall in the 2007 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions where he spent his entire nine-year career. An all-around dominant player, Johnson started in 130 of his 135 career games.

Nicknamed “Megatron” by a teammate for his strong, robotic like abilities on the field, Johnson began truly making his mark in the league during the 2008 season when he finished with 78 catches for 1,331 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Johnson had seven seasons (2008, 2010-15) with 1,000-plus receiving yards and earned league pass receiving yardage titles in 2011 and 2012 as well as the pass reception title in 2012 (122). At the time of his retirement in 2015, he held several NFL records including the most receiving yards in a season (1,964 yards in 2012) and most consecutive games with 100 or more receiving yards (8). Johnson still holds the Lions’ career record for most receptions (731) and receiving yards (11,619). He earned Pro Bowl honors six consecutive years (2011-16) and was named First-Team All-Pro three times and Second-Team All-Pro once. Johnson was selected to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2010s.

Any school can connect to the Heart of a Hall of Famer program via a PC/MAC/IOS/Android device using Zoom. There are limited interactive spots available, and the first seven (7) schools to register will receive those spots. If you register and are not one of the first seven (7) schools, you can still be part of the program as a “view only” school. You still will be able to access the chat function to ask Johnson a question.

A session is available to grades 4-12 free of charge, thanks to our sponsors at Extreme Networks! For more information please contact our Education Department at Education@ProFootballHOF.com
