Calvin Johnson in the Spotlight

JACKET RECEIVER DRAWS RAVES AS FRESHMAN

Calvin Johnson's list of attributes reads like an aspiring wide receiver's letter to Santa Claus. Dear Santa, please bring me ...

A long, lean frame (6-foot-4).
Great speed (4.4 seconds in 40-yard dash).
Remarkable agility (43-inch vertical leap).
Feathery hands (one drop all season).

"Keep going," said Georgia Tech football coach Chan Gailey. A letter writer would get hand cramps trying to list all of Johnson's talents and abilities.
