Raised in Metro Detroit, wide receiver KJ Hamler grew up admiring the man Lions supporters call "Megatron" prior to his recent retirement.
However, admiration didn't exactly equate to imitation.
"I'm a big fan of Calvin Johnson and loved watching him play but I'm not a 6'5" dude so I've studied guys who are more similar to me," Hamler told Bleacher Report. "I watch film of receivers who use their speed and technique to beat defenders without a size advantage."
Standing 5'9", 155-pounds, the St. Mary's Preparatory standout cites Steve Smith, Andrew Hawkins, Tavon Austin and Antonio Brown as NFL receivers he emulates.
