San Francisco — Most people who have crossed paths with Calvin Johnson during his NFL career have a story about him being a remarkable talent while remaining unassuming.
Former kicker Jay Feely sat next to Johnson at the NCAA men’s basketball championship game in 2013. At first, Feely didn’t recognize Johnson, but based on their conversation, said the Lions receiver is “one of the nicest men you’ll ever meet.”
“That’s how I’ll remember him the most, this guy who dominates on the field, but is just so gracious and kind off the field,” Feely said Monday at a Super Bowl media event featuring CBS broadcasters.
