Custom Authentic Jerseys

The Lions had the first perfect season in 2008, unfortunately, it wasn’t the perfect season that Tom Brady had in 2007. The Detroit Lions went 0-16, becoming the first NFL team to do so in the history of the NFL. The 2008 Lions will go down as one of those instances that NFL pundits refer to for all future teams that are having bad seasons. “Well, at least they’re not the 2008 Lions”, it will become a staple of punditry for decades to come. While the 2008 Lions were no doubt historic losers, a lot of their games were closer than most people would assume, and much of it was due to one man: Calvin Johnson. Standing at 6 ft 5 inches and weighing in at 239 lbs, Johnson is a formidable receiver in the mold of the now famed Larry Fitzgerald. In fact, Johnson and Fitzgerald share much more than just size, Johnson has a towering vertical leap, reliable hands, blazing speed, and is a humble and well mannered person; all traits that made Fitzgerald the top WR in the league.

In 2009, it will not be Matthew Stafford, Daunte Culpepper, or Brandon Pettigrew that leads the Detroit Lions to a few wins, it will be Calvin Johnson. He is the future of Detroit, and the one hope that many Lions fans have for the franchise. Detroit fans can display their Lions jerseys with pride, as long as the name Johnson is on the back.
