Calvin Johnson
The Detroit Lions announced Monday that Calvin Johnson will be added to the team’s Pride of the Lions, further signaling a repairing of the team’s relationship with the Hall of Fame wide receiver.
Johnson, 38, will be honored at halftime of the Sept. 30 game between the Lions and Seattle Seahawks on “Monday Night Football.”
There had been a rift between Johnson and the Lions after the team asked Johnson to repay $1.6 million of the signing bonus he had been given at the start of his last contract after he retired following the 2015 season. However, the Lions have worked to mend their relationship with Johnson the past few years.
