Calvin Johnson is a big wide receiver, and has all the tools to be one of the top players in the game at his position. With Roy Williams gone, Johnson is the clear cut number one in Detroit, and poised for a breakout year.

Johnson comes into the 2009 season primed for his third year in the league. Year three tends to be a big breakout year for WR’s, and Calvin Johnson is primed and ready. The Lions will need to throw a lot to stay in games this year, as they will not be one of the better defensive teams. Johnson is a monster, and I like him as a number one option.

The Lions will be much more run committed this season, but they tried that last year and you can see how it worked for them. Johnson is going to have some huge games.

Johnson has serious natural talent, huge hands, and a very imposing presence on the field. If you have seen him play in person, you can appreciate his sheer size. He will get his fair share of catches, and should put in a solid performance this season. I would count on a 1,500 yard campaign, with a touchdowns approaching double digits.

Draft Johnson as a number one wide receiver. He will be a stud. I like him a whole lot this year, and he could end up one of the top 5 or 6 at his position when the dust settles for 2009.
