Calvin Johnson is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will find out in two weeks if he will be the first Detroit Lions modern-era player selected to Canton since Barry Sanders.
Johnson is one of four first-year eligible players among 15 finalists, along with Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson and Jared Allen.
He played nine NFL seasons and retired as the Lions' all-time leader in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and catches. Only Julio Jones, Jerry Rice and Torry Holt had more receiving yards in the first nine seasons of their careers.
