Regarded by many as the premier receiver in college football, Johnson has that rare blend of size, strength and quickness that saw him immediately develop into the Yellow Jackets' most dangerous offensive weapon. A starter since arriving on campus, he ranks fifth in school history in receiving yards (2,151) and receptions (121) and third in touchdown catches (20) in just 28 games at Tech. During that span, he amassed more than 40 percent of the team's passing yardage and hauled in 20 of the team's 38 passing touchdowns.

The two-time All-American (freshman team in 2004) and All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team selection has drawn heavy praise from his coaching staff, opponents and the media.

Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey said, "I've never had one like him. Not in college, not in the NFL. I've never had another receiver that big and that fast with that kind of hand-eye coordination."

ESPN.com's Bruce Feldman called Johnson, "The most gifted wideout in the country. He is worth the price of admission by himself. Just ask Miami, whose top-ranked pass defense had no answers for the sophomore this season. I think he's a bigger, faster version of Larry Fitzgerald and will be a sure-fire Pro Bowler."

Chris Fowler of ESPN College GameDay said, "Calvin Johnson's the most impressive wide receiver, from field level, I've ever seen in college football." Fowler's ESPN partner, Kirk Herbstreit, called Johnson, "Physically one of the most dynamic players in the country. Great in the classroom, incredibly humble, just a total package. He is the most humble superstar I have ever met. Every player on this team loves Calvin Johnson."

Even opponents heap praises on Johnson. Virginia cornerback Marcus Hamilton said,

"You've just got to do your absolute best to try and contain him because he does so many things well. Even when he's not catching the ball, if a running back's running behind him, he's so strong he can block you."

Miami linebacker linebacker Jon Beason called Johnson, "Quiet and humble and easygoing. You (saw) him as a freshman emerging as a star. When it's crunch time, they went to him. Now, it's at the point where there's not a situation he hasn't been in. It's fourth down, he knows the ball's coming to him. I don't believe that he is nervous because he's done it before. He's just developed into a dependable guy."

Johnson was one of the nation's most highly sought recruits coming out of Sandy Creek High School, where he ranked among the top 10 prep receivers, according to virtually every recruiting service. He was named to the Super Southern 100 by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Rivals 100 by Rivals.com, TheInsiders.com Hot 100, the Super Prep All-American 275 and the Prep Star Top 100 Dream Team. He was rated the third-best player in Georgia, and No. 37 prospect in the nation by Rivals.com.

Johnson also earned first-team All-State Class AAAA accolades from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution after he caught 40 passes for 736 yards and eight touchdowns as a senior. He added 34 receptions for 646 yards and 10 scores as a junior for two-year totals of 80 catches for 1,479 yards and 18 touchdowns.

The true freshman immediately earned a starting job at flanker for Georgia Tech in 2004. He was a Freshman All-American and Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year, becoming the first Tech freshman and 11th in league history to earn first-team All-ACC recognition. He ranked second in the conference with an average of 69.75 yards per game receiving and third with an average of 4.0 catches per game. Johnson led the team with 48 receptions for 837 yards (127.4 avg) and seven touchdowns, adding 10 yards and a score on three reverses and made a solo tackle. Fifteen of his grabs were for 20 yards or longer.

In 2006, Johnson established himself as the nation's elite receiver when he was awarded the Biletnikoff Award. The consensus All-American and All-Atlantic Coast Conference pick was bothered early in the year by a leg bruise, but led the ACC with an average of 5.43 receptions and 85.86 yards per game, catching a career-high 76 passes for 1,202 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also gained 30 yards on seven reverses and completed one pass for a seven-yard gain.

Johnson started every game (38) during his Yellow Jackets career. He ranks second in school history with 178 receptions and first with 2,927 yards (16.4 avg). His 28 touchdown grabs set a school career record, and he totaled 61 yards on 11 reverses while also adding three solo tackles and returning one punt for a seven-yard loss. Forty-five of his 178 catches were for 20 yards or longer.

Positives: Has a tall, thick frame, with long arms, large hands, thick thighs and calves and a big bubble … His long legs let him ride up on the defender quickly while looking effortless in his stride … Shows good closing speed running under sideline throws and the quickness to get into his routes without being impeded … Good power receiver on crossers and side-line throws, using his strength and size to shield the ball from defenders … Has strong hands to secure the ball before running (no fumbles) and the second gear to turn a short pass into a long gainer … Very physical in his initial step off the ball, but he also has the quickness to immediately defeat the press … Best when operating along the sidelines where he can build to top speed and maintain it throughout his route … Knows how to use his body and has a knack for finding the open spots in the zone … In man coverage, he is very adept at using his burst to separate consistently … Has the long arms and body control to go over people to get to the ball and did it with more regularity in 2006 than in the past … Knows how to get open and understands sticks and boundaries, doing a nice job of keeping his feet in bounds … Big target who can't be rerouted by a strong hand push and is learning how to use his long arms to go over defenders (did not have any passes deflected through five 2006 games, compared to 21 during the first 24 games of his career) … Can be very explosive in his rise and shows natural hand extension to reach and pluck away from the frame … Generates a strong jolt with them to defeat the press and works hard with his hands to sustain when blocking in-line … It is rare to see him use his body to field the ball, as he is perfectly capable of extending for the pass at its high point … Terrific load to bring down after the catch … Strong open field runner who will drag defenders when fighting for extra yardage … Even though there is not a lot of shake in his hips and he is a bit of a long strider, he runs with the power needed to break tackles consistently … Uses his hands with force to lock on and sustain and can generate devastating cut blocks in the open … Can dominate smaller defensive backs and shows good angles getting out to neutralize second level defenders … Stays low in his pads and shows good intent when delivering his hand punch vs. the bull rush … Has that deceptive burst that lets him gobble up the defender's cushion in an instant … Has excellent body control for a player his size, contorting and adjusting to get to the off-target throws with ease … Has the second gear needed to separate after the catch and demonstrates very good head fakes and spin moves to leave defenders grasping at air … Will not hesitate to stretch out and sacrifice his body to make the catch … Knows how to use his long legs to turn on the extra gear to get under the ball in a hurry … When he times his leaps and catches with fingers extended, he can reach and pluck the ball in jump ball battles.

Negatives: Has good overall body control, but sometimes does not play up to his timed speed … Even though he has good leaping ability, his timing is sometimes off, as he doesn't win as many jump ball battles as you would expect from a player of his size and arm extension … Demonstrates good toughness battling for the ball, but he has also left quite a few passes on the field, perhaps due to poor passing precision from the quarterback position, but he has caught only 127 of 271 passes thrown to him … For a player over 6:04 and with his jumping skills (45 inches) along with his long reach, it is hard to imagine the smaller cornerbacks having success in batting away 21 of those passes thrown to him the last two-plus years … Better down field than on deep routes, as he tends to lose sight of the ball over his head … Has some hip stiffness when trying to change direction and this will sometimes prevent him from making sharp cuts (takes wasted steps) … Needs to show better hip sink on his cuts … Tends to lose concentration working in a crowd, leading to several missed opportunities (hears defender's footsteps) … Gets his feet down properly when working along the side-lines, but must be more alert to the quarterback scramble … Despite his strength, he will struggle and get frustrated by a physical jam.

Compares To: ANDRE JOHNSON-Houston … Like Andre, Calvin has a definite size advantage over most cornerbacks. He is a long strider with a good second gear and impressive leaping ability. He is not only a physical receiver, but has the quickness to instantly gobble up the cushion. He has also developed solid blocking skills, making him the most complete receiver in this draft.

Johnson's 178 receptions rank second on the school's career record list, topped only by Kelly Campbell (195, 1998-01) … His 2,927 yards receiving topped Campbell's previous Tech all-time record of 2,907 yards … Johnson's 2,927 yards rank eighth in Atlantic Coast Conference annals … His 28 touchdown catches surpassed Campbell's old school career record of 24 and rank fifth in ACC history behind Clarkston Hines of Duke (38, 1986-89), Peter Warrick of Florida State (31, 1996-99) Torry Holt of North Carolina State (31, 1995-98) and E.G. Green of Florida State (29, 1994-97) … Gained more than 100 yards receiving in 13 contests, surpassing the previous mark of 10 by both Campbell and Harvey Middleton (1994-97) … Johnson has caught at least one pass in 30 consecutive games, ranking third on the school's career record list behind Middleton (40) and Campbell (32) … His 76 receptions in 2006 were two shy of the school single-season record of 78 grabs by Jonathan Smith in 2003 … Set the school single-season record with 1,202 yards receiving in 2006, topping the old mark of 1,138 yards by Smith in 2003 … Was joined by Smith, Campbell (1,105 in 1999) and Kerry Watkins (1,050 in 2002) as the only players in school history to gain more than 1,000 yards receiving in a season … His 15 touchdown grabs in 2006 broke the previous Tech single-season record of 10 by Kelly Campbell in both 1999 and 2000 … In the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference, his 837 yards in 2004 is the second-best total in the conference by a freshman, topped only by Koren Robinson of North Carolina State (853 in 1999). It also set a school single-season record for first-year players, surpassing the previous mark of 593 yards by Greg Lester in 1987 … His 48 catches in 2004 rank third in conference annals among freshmen, topped only by Frank Wycheck of Maryland (58 in 1990 and Derrick Hamilton of Clemson (48 in 2001) … Those 48 grabs also broke the Tech single-season record for first-year players of 45, set by Robert Lavette in 1981 … His seven touchdown catches in 2004 also established a Tech freshman single-season record … Of the 369 passes targeted to Johnson, he caught 178 and had 33 deflected by the opposition … 130 of his 178 receptions resulted in first downs, as Johnson converted 33-of-80 third-down plays (41.25 percent) and 3-of-7 fourth-down plays (42.86 percent) … Forty-nine of his catches were for 20 yards or longer … He was successful in catching 19-of-44 passes thrown to him inside the red zone, including 8 of 22 on goal-line plays … Johnson had key catches that helped set up 42 touchdowns and seven other drives that ended with Tech field goals … Became the first player in school history to earn first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors three times … First Tech player since Marco Coleman (1990-91) to earn All-American first-team recognition in consecutive years (sixth overall in Tech annals) … Joined Florida State's Charlie Ward (1992) as the only juniors to ever be named ACC Player of the Year … Also joined QB Joe Hamilton (1999) as the only Tech players to earn ACC Player of the Year honors.

Earned All-American first-team honors from The NFL Draft Report, American Football Coaches Association, Football Writers Association, Walter Camp, The Sporting News and Associated Press … Winner of the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation's top receiver … Finished 10th in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy … Unanimous All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team choice and second Tech athlete to earn ACC Player of the Year recognition … Semi-finalist for the Maxwell Award as Collegiate Player of the Year … Led the ACC and ranked 14th in the nation with an average of 85.86 yards per game receiving … Started all year, seeing action at flanker and slot receiver … Led the team with 76 catches, the second-best season total in school history … Set school season-records with 1,202 yards (15.8 avg) and fifteen touchdowns receiving … Gained 30 yards on seven carries (4.3 avg) and completed one pass for 7 yards … Of the 140 passes targeted to Johnson, twelve were deflected by the opposition … 54 of his 76 receptions were good for first downs, as he converted 15-of-31 third-down plays … Had 20 catches for 20 yards or longer and caught 8-of-12 tosses to him inside the red zone … Turned the ball over twice on fumbles.

Notre Dame … Calvin opened the season with 111 yards and a touchdown on seven catches, but managed only two grabs for 16 yards in the second half against a team that ranked 103rd nationally against the pass in 2005, as Notre Dame rallied to defeat Tech, 14-10 … The Yellow Jackets went ahead late in the first quarter, taking advantage of its most dominating weapon. Johnson lingered at the line to haul in a short pass from QB Reggie Ball, then, he burst through two defenders and rumbled all the way to the Notre Dame 4 for a 29-yard gain. On the very next play, Ball took a couple of steps back and simply lofted the ball toward the 6-foot-5 Johnson in the corner of the end zone. He easily out-leaped helpless 5-11 cornerback Mike Richardson for a 4-yard touchdown … Johnson went deep in the second quarter, running past cornerback Darrin Walls to haul in a 45-yard pass to the Notre Dame 12. The Yellow Jackets stalled there and settled for Travis Bell's 30-yard field goal … Notre Dame's defense was especially stout in the second half, limiting Georgia Tech to 71 yards of total offense. The Irish secondary also came alive, limiting Yellow Jackets WR Calvin Johnson to two catches for 16 yards after the break (he had five receptions for 95 yards and a TD in the first half) … After the game, Tech head coach Chan Gailey talked about the Notre Dame defensive play in the second half, stating, "They basically doubled Calvin (Johnson) every snap. They were trying to keep him from getting the ball, short or deep, and playing over top of him. Every time we tried to go deep with [the ball] it looked like we couldn't quite hold [the defense] out of there long enough to get the ball down the field." … Johnson caught seven of eleven passes thrown to him, making five first downs and had two grabs for longer than 20 yards, but failed to convert two third-down tosses to him … Head to Head Competition-CB#30-Mike Richardson-Five tackles (3 solos), one pass deflection.

Samford … Johnson shifted inside to slot receiver, as he grabbed only four catches for 26 yards, but two catches were good for touchdowns, as Tech returned two interceptions for scores for the first time in thirty years, bouncing back from an emotional loss to Notre Dame with a 38-6 rout of Samford … Calvin's first scoring grab came on a 5-yard toss from QB Reggie Ball into the left corner of the end zone, with Johnson taking advantage of his imposing 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame. Samford tried to cope by sending in receiver Jeff Moore to cover Johnson instead of 5-7 cornerback T.C. Myers. It wasn't nearly enough. Moore was still five inches shorter than Johnson, who easily reached over his converted defender to pull down the ball … Johnson got loose across the middle for his second touchdown on Georgia Tech's next possession, good for 11 yards to end a 6-play, 56-yard drive … Samford head coach Bill Gray talked about his game plan for covering Johnson, saying, "We weren't going to just cover them with a short corner. Jeff is one of the better athletes on our team. He's not a defensive back, but we put him out there just to see if he could make something happen, see if he could put up a challenge. And he did, but Calvin Johnson's quite a player." … Johnson accounted for three first downs among his four catches, with three of those grabs coming inside the red zone … Record Watch-Johnson's two touchdowns gave him sixteen for his career, moving him to third on the school's career-record list behind Kelly Campbell (24, 1998-2001) and Kerry Watkins (22, 1999-2002) … Head to Head Competition-CB/WR#82-Jeff Moore-No tackles … CB#5-T.C. Myers-One solo tackle.

Troy … A thigh contusion early in the second quarter would limit Calvin to a career-low 9 yards on two catches, but he did set up a Tech scoring drive with a 21-yard reverse. His injury forced the team to concentrate on their running game, as QB Reggie Ball ran for 130 yards, setting a school record for a quarterback, and Georgia Tech scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat Troy, 35-20, as the Yellow Jackets wore down the smaller Troy defense by rushing for 320 yards … Johnson's 21-yard rushing attempt set up Rashaun Grant's 26-yard touchdown run in the first quarter … Calvin would later limp off the field early in the second period after he took a hit from Troy safety Terence Moore following a catch for a loss of 2 yards. He sat out most of the rest of the half and didn't have another catch, as he missed getting to three other passes targeted to him (had a total of eight passes thrown to him for the day) … Troy head coach Larry Blakeney talked about his team's scheme against Johnson, saying, "We knew Calvin was probably going to get his, but we needed to make sure he didn't get all of his and some of the other ones get theirs. He got dinged up a little bit early on the bubble screen when one of our guys knifed in there. He was out for a little bit there, but to his credit, he came back and played and was certainly a force in the game regardless."

Virginia … Because of his injury, it became a game-time decision whether Johnson would play vs. the Cavaliers, but he toughed it out, snaring five passes for 165 yards and the two longest touchdowns for his career (58, 66), leading the Yellow Jackets past Virginia, 24-7 …

Johnson barely practiced during the short week (game was played on a Thursday) after injuring a leg in Saturday's victory over Troy … Burning the Cavaliers twice when they attempted single-coverage on the star receiver, QB Reggie Ball hooked up with Johnson on touchdown passes of 58 and 66 yards to give the Yellow Jackets a commanding lead by early in the second half … Ball, who set a school record for quarterbacks with 130 yards rushing against Troy, did a little bit of everything. On the Yellow Jackets' second drive, the senior handed off to fullback Mike Cox, then drifted out of the backfield to haul in a 17-yard pass. Ball might have scored, but he slipped at the 5 trying to make a cut. Not to worry. After a penalty backed up Georgia Tech, the QB picked up 4 yards on the option, then, scored with a 6-yard run around left end. Johnson made a key block in the end zone on linebacker Jon Copper … Ball wasted no time looking for his big receiver. Inexplicably, the Cavaliers put one man on the 6-foot-5 Johnson, who blew by safety Jamaal Jackson after a quick feint to the outside and hauled in the 58-yard score down the middle of the field before safety Byron Glaspy could get over to help. Calvin easily pulled away from the defenders, sticking out the ball with his right hand as he glided into the end zone with 1:08 left in the half … Ball and Johnson pulled off an even bigger play the next time they got their hands on the ball. On Georgia Tech's first possession of the second half, Johnson froze cornerback Marcus Hamilton with a quick stutter-step along the sideline, then got safety Tony Franklin all twisted up by cutting to the inside for the 66-yard touchdown -- the longest reception of Calvin's career … Four of Johnson's grabs were good for first downs, including two that converted third-down plays … Head coach Chan Gailey commented on his injured receiver after the game, as he stated, "I don't think that he was 100 percent. I think that he was less than 100, but he obviously had a great night. First of all, we made the determination that he couldn't hurt it a lot more. That it had healed enough that he wasn't going to hurt it a lot more. It might get a little more strain, but we had an extra few days to get ready for the next one. And if he felt good enough we were going to let him play. I was surprised that Virginia played him in single coverage. There were really a couple of the big plays were zones where we hit it in the zones a couple of times and we made some big plays. To me, I give a lot of credit to Reggie Ball for seeing those creases and putting the ball in those spots." … Calvin commented on his sore leg, "It was sore, tight. I wasn't able to run basically. I wasn't able to run full speed yesterday. It was real doubtful coming into today. It was in my quad, my left quad. Once my adrenaline started rushing, I didn't have to worry about it. But I didn't feel pain or anything like that." On scoring two similar touchdowns, he said, "The coaches saw something in the defense and they took advantage of it right away. So we got real aggressive out there and it paid off."

On the man coverage he faced, "When I see one guy on me, shoot, I love it. We were telling coach that they were biting on the hitches we were running. So coach said to put in a little hitch and go, so we did it and we ran it and it was a touchdown." … Virginia corner-back Marcus Hamilton praised Johnson after the game, saying, "You've just got to do your absolute best to try and contain him because he does so many things well. Even when he's not catching the ball, if a running back's running behind him, he's so strong he can block you." … Record Watch-Calvin's 165 yards topped his previous career-high 131 vs. Connecticut in 2004 … His 165 yards gave him 2,036 to date, making him the fifth receiver in school history to gain over 2,000 yards receiving in a career … His 66-yard catch is the longest reception of his career and Tech's longest play from scrimmage this year … Head to Head Competition-CB#3-Marcus Hamilton-Five tackles (4 solos), one pass deflection.

Virginia Tech … Still nursing his thigh injury, Calvin still came up with six receptions for 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns, as the Yellow Jackets made their second consecutive visit to Lane Stadium a huge success, jumping out to a big lead and beating the 11th-ranked Hokies 38-27 at their own disruptive game … Johnson capped a 5-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown grab on the team's game-opening possession … On the Yellow Jackets' next drive, QB Reggie Ball ran for 9 yards and then hit Calvin with a short third-and-1 pass and the big receiver ran untouched past three defensive backs for a 53-yard touch-down down the right sidelines … Calvin kept a late second quarter drive alive when he snared a third-and-7 sideline pass from Ball for a 35-yard pickup and repeated that in the fourth quarter when he grabbed a third-and-1 post pattern toss from Ball for 15 yards … Record Watch-Johnson's two touchdowns gave him twenty for his career, ranking fourth on the school's all-time record list … His six catches gave him 127 at Tech, moving past Will Glover (122, 1999-2002) for fifth on Tech's all-time receiving list … His 115 yards marked the ninth time in his career that Johnson gained over 1200 yards receiving in a game, the third-best career total in school history … Head to Head Competition-CB#1-Victor Harris-Five tackles (4 solos), one interception.

Calvin could get us open if he just stood there with two or three defenders on him." … On his first pass attempt, QB Reggie Ball threw low for Johnson and officials ruled North Carolina cornerback Cedrick Holt intercepted the ball.
