Calvin Johnson on NFL Return: 'I Don't Want to Play'

In case anyone was holding out hope Calvin Johnson might return to the NFL, the six-time Pro Bowler has some bad news.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Johnson said "I don't want to play" when asked if he could still go.

After playing nine seasons with the Detroit Lions from 2007 through 2015, Johnson walked away from football at the age of 30.

In June 2016, Johnson explained to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press his body was "beat up" and he was "fed up" with playing.
