DETROIT -- Nearly a decade has passed since Detroit Lions great Calvin Johnson abruptly retired from the NFL after the 2015 season at age 30, but on Monday night, the Hall of Fame receiver will get a permanent spot amongst the greatest players in team history.
Johnson will enter the Pride of the Lions during halftime of Detroit's homecoming game against the Seattle Seahawks, which honors the brightest stars in team history at Ford Field.
Johnson said his relationship with the team is "definitely on the up and up" and he's excited for the recognition.
