As Obama presidency winds down, Calvin Johnson visits White House

He never got there with the Detroit Lions during his NFL career, but as the playoffs started last week, retired receiver Calvin Johnson ended up getting to hang out at the most famous house in the United States: The White House.

Johnson posted a picture of himself with his wife, Brittney, on Thursday saying he visited the White House last week for a party thrown by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.

Johnson had spent time with Michelle Obama in April as part of her Reach Higher initiative when he attended her College Signing Day event in New York.
