Not going to lie, I shed a tear watching this... Calvin put literally everything on the field, he deserves royalties and honors forever.
-
One of the greatest wide receiver ever. To bad the lions never developed a championship for him and Barry sanders. These two are hall of fame players.
-
Highly intelligent, physically gifted, disciplined, non diva receiver. They don’t make them like him anymore.
-
Hall of famer. Multi millionaire. Seems like a genuinely good dude. I’m happy he decided to hang up the cleats when he felt he should
-
Crazy how the Packers, Bears, and Vikings had more respect for Megatron than the Lions did.
-
The chemistry between him and Stafford is amazing. Stafford knew without him having to tell him.
-
Been a die hard Lions fan my entire life , the level of disrespect the franchise showed Calvin and Caldwell is unforgivable.
-
Crazy how it takes a few years for some to realize how special this man was to the position. Right up there with Moss, Rice, Owens... one of the greats
-
As a die hard lion fan my whole life, The Stafford story about Calvin saying to his security “give these cleats to my mom” and Stafford knew it was last Monday night game and Matt kept it to himself is extremely beautiful. They were one of the best duos to ever play.
-
It's such a disgrace the way the lions treated him. Not only was he an amazing athlete, he's also one of the most respectable, diva-less recievers of all time. They didn't even retire his number!
-
The NFL still owes this man an Extra Touchdown! 🏈
-
The most physically gifted receiver I’ve ever seen. Thank you Calvin for all you gave fans.
-
He comes across exactly as I always expected. Humble and honest.
-
I love how even though he never said it explicitly to Stafford that he was retiring, his QB knew.
-
Imagine if him and Stafford were on a different team. They probrably would've been in the playoffs consistently.
-
He is as articulate and passionate as he is physically gifted. First ballot HOF.
-
The lions staff (GM, owner, etc.) did not deserve him. the fans and teammates did
-
As a Packers fan I loved watching Megatron. One of the best ever.
-
One of the greatest that ever did it, he was the Lions offense for 8 seasons. 81 should be retired in the Lions hall of fame.
-
It’s hard to believe that the Lions had arguably the greatest RB and WR and both retired in a similar fashion. Kudos to the Lions for finding such high character players.
