Thank you, Calvin
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I have one word for Calvin Johnson: Thanks.
Thanks for showing me that me a player with unbelievable talent can be remarkably humble.
Thanks for putting your team first.
Thanks for being a hero to my little boys (thanks for giving them five on Yellow Jacket Alley).
Thanks for saying that you will complete your degree. I believe you will.
Thanks for the school records: 2,927 yards receiving, 28 touchdowns receptions, 13 100-yard games, to name a few.
A lot of people will remember Calvin for “the catch” against NC State where he reaches back and makes the one-handed grab. This year’s games against Virginia and VaTech were memorable. Maybe his best all-around game was his last against WVU, but I’ll never forget his breakout game against Clemson as a freshman.
And that the thing: There are so many great plays it’s hard to remember them all. Good luck, Calvin. You’re a class act and a great ambassador of Georgia Tech.
