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.

I'm with you on that, K

Anywhere else, & he's in the conversation when it comes to big trouble at WR. "Nasty" just about covers it...

you put him on NE in 2007 and he shatters moss's record. he put up good numbers in fucking detroit with no qb/a rookie.

i think stafford and cj are going to be sick, lions really are on a track to be a good team in the upcoming years and i will be rooting for them 100% if the steelers draft taylor mays in the first lol

I understand that he is frustrated but i can see the lions having a much better year specially with the acquisitions that they have made this off-season i can see them going 6-10 so i think things will get turned around for them and he will get some recognition
