Calvin’s PR tour, Day 2
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
New York — Calvin Johnson made another network morning show appearance today, and this time he got to say something.
Georgia Tech’s All-America receiver and four other players expected to be among the first picks in Saturday’s NFL draft appeared on The Early Show on CBS. David Price asked each player a question during the four-minute segment. Johnson went third, behind LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell and Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson; Price asked him about the major influences in his life that made him who he is.
“My parents and my coaches,” Johnson said, and added that God was most reponsible for all that he is. “My character and everything, that’s straight from my parents,” Johnson said.
Thursday, the players appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America, where Russell and Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn did the talking.
Johnson’s schedule for the rest of Friday includes a tour of the NFL offices, a public event at The World Financial Center and a visit to Kravis Children’s Hospital at Mount Sinai Medical Center.
