Lions WR Calvin Johnson Fustrated With Losing, Lack Of Recognition

Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson admits that, entering his fourth season, the constant losing and lack of personal recognition have been frustrating. "Losing always gets to you," Johnson said today during a break in the team's off-season conditioning program at team headquarters in Allen Park. "If you're a competitor, you hate losing. But you've got to know it's part of the game." Despite strong numbers his first three seasons, Johnson has not been to a Pro Bowl, which is a personal goal that he hopes comes along with winning. "Definitely want to be in the Pro Bowl," he said. "I think I'm definitely a caliber player to be in the Pro Bowl. Those are some things that need correcting." Johnson expressed faith in some of the team's off-season acquisitions, such as receivers Nate Burleson and Brian Clark, who could help take the pressure off him.

johnson is by far one of the best WR..... it is unfortunite that he has been on the lions. Granted I am glad he didnt get traded cuase I feel that the Lions will have a better season since they seem to be drafting smarter........

but still after this season I am sure he will have had enough and request a trade or become a Free Agent....... it will be sad to lose him but its inevitable.

I think he gets the recognition he deserves...he's one of the best receivers in the league and people say that. Get over the Pro-Bowl thing dude...it's meaningless...

Definitely not man, the Pro Bowl means you have a lot of people who watch you play and like you. If you don't make it to the Pro Bowl...a lot of people don't watch you play or like you.

I disagree. Half the players in the Pro-Bowl don't deserve to be there. It's a meaningless game. The players get recognized for what they do on the field ... maybe the occasional fan doesn't recognize Johnson, but the media and the true football fans give the guy credit. If you did a poll here on who the best WR is, Johnson would get a lot of the vote.
