Detroit Lions great Calvin Johnson: I wish I could have played with Aaron Rodgers

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is once again in the news for reasons that are not a positive reflection upon his stellar career in Detroit.

In an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast with former NBA players Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Johnson revealed that he used to long to play for the Green Bay Packers during his Lions career. He even claims to have told Packers QB Aaron Rodgers about it during games between the two NFC North rivals.
