Mitch Albom wrote the following about Calvin Johnson - worth a read. Not a glowing review, but mainly a word of caution about putting all hopes on CJ to change the fortunes of the Lions.
Some links to chew on from the Detroit Lions website - it is clearly obvious that they are excited to have Calvin.

QB Drew Stanton's comment:
"I'm so excited to dive in and get to work right away. To get an opportunity to work with a spread offense and air the ball out and throw downfield. It's an opportunity to work with some great wide receivers. Calvin Johnson is my teammate now, and I'm excited about that. I can't even put that into words."
By the way, he threw out the first pitch for the Tigers today - check out the pics:
