Calvin Johnson forever has his place in NFL history. His place at Georgia Tech is secure, too.
One of the greatest players in school history, Johnson's retirement announcement Tuesday also reverberated to Atlanta, where his college career was on "beast mode" right from the start.
Incredible talent, amazing person, great representative of @GeorgiaTechFB -- wish @calvinjohnsonjr best in retirement!! #ThankYouMegatron

In his freshman season in 2004, Johnson was a first-team All-ACC selection -- just the second true freshman in school history to win such an honor.
