You know, I love everything about it, the toughness \u2026 Aaron Rodgers was probably at the top of my list at the time. Obviously Brady, but I didn\u2019t have an opportunity to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stuck with the Lions and yes, his much-disputed one-handed catch led to a rule change in 2018. He is now a Detroiter, but Calvin is a true product of the Georgia Bible Belt. He grew up with an educator mother and a father who worked for the railroad. He was required to maintain good grades in order to compete and his grandfather is a preacher. He grew up on gospel music.<\/p>\n<p>But he isn\u2019t afraid to talk about Atlanta\u2019s best feature: the strip clubs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been to every single one there is in Atlanta. I haven\u2019t been to a strip club for a while though. But yeah, back when I was playing, when I was a little younger, I was in the Onyx, the Magic City \u2026 Platinum 21 before the name change. Cheetah every now and then because they had good food.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=NYPH7526543246&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And you know there ain\u2019t no shame in adult entertainment. Especially if you are living in the capital of jiggle joints. Speaking of dancing, Calvin competed on \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d in 2016 and it led to a few revelations. First: Dancing isn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you ask me to do it again, I\u2019ll probably say no because I didn\u2019t know how much work went into it. But like I told you earlier, whatever I\u2019m gonna do, I\u2019m gonna work my tail off of doing it \u2026 I was going to quit the show because my ankles were so bad,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>His buddy brought some topical cannabis cream and he felt the difference right away. It led to a second calling for him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of a turning point for me when I really wanted to learn more, a lot more about cannabis, when I can use it in that different <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He teamed with former Lion Rob Sims to start <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.primitivgroup.com\/\">Primitiv<\/a>, a Michigan-based company that highlights the healing powers of the plant \u2014 something that was considered taboo in sports. He and Sims are working with Harvard to study the effects of medical marijuana. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur focus in these areas are pain, mental, cognitive issues. When you talk about cannabis or mental issues, both are those are stigmafied,\u201d he said, adding they are interested in the new application, not necessarily recreational use. He talked about the advancements scientists are exploring, including using drones and nano<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> to effectively target areas for treatment. \u201cYou hear about it from somebody\u2019s real medical use where an elderly cancer patient with Stage 2 or 3 cancer, they\u2019re in remission now because they\u2019re using [it]. Or you hear of the story of someone with epilepsy or seizures where they used to have 36 seizures a day. Now they might have one because of the cannabis they\u2019re using. And these are real stories that I have that I\u2019ve been privileged to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The medicinal variety would have been handy during his playing days. The 6-foot-5 receiver has been candid about his injuries. I asked who hit him the hardest? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m running a little crossing pattern 5 yards deep, and it\u2019s the hardest I ever been hit in my life. I knew he was going to be there, but I didn\u2019t expect a hit like this \u2026 So I remember the hit through and through. I feel it in my body right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/johnson-6.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Calvin Johnson catches a touchdown pass during a 2015 game against the Eagles.\" class=\"wp-image-22681164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/johnson-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/johnson-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/johnson-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/johnson-6.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Calvin Johnson catches a touchdown pass during a 2015 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> against the Eagles.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It hurt so bad the name escaped him. But I didn\u2019t forget \u2026 not when it comes to my Lions. It was Washington\u2019s London Fletcher. (Take a bow, London.)<\/p>\n<p>We spoke about NIL, which is changing the college game and allowing players to finally profit off their personal brand. He said it\u2019s a positive policy that can help players, especially the ones not going pro, to bring money to their family and change their stations in life. <\/p>\n<p>But it can have major drawbacks that could be felt in the locker room. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a good thing as long as it\u2019s done right, because I hate to see in college, the haves and the have nots \u2026 Maybe you have one guy that can have this huge deal, but he\u2019s the only guy on the team. That can create a cancerous environment. I feel like those deals are really just between the player and whatever company \u2026 So, that\u2019s just the way it is. I wish there was a better way for all the players to help each other out \u2026 [and to not] create a great rift in your system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s Megatron: Always seeing the big picture.
