Former Wide Receiver Johnson to be Inducted into Lions’ Pride
Calvin Johnson, a Hall of Fame wide receiver, will be added to the Detroit Lions’ Pride of the Lions, signaling a repairing of the team’s relationship with him. Johnson will be honored at halftime of the Sept. 30 game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Lions had asked Johnson to repay $1.6 million of a signing bonus after he retired in 2015, causing a rift. However, the team has worked to mend the relationship in recent years. Johnson holds franchise records for receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown catches. The Lions’ chief operating officer surprised Johnson with the announcement at his charity golf tournament, calling it a “tearjerker.”
