For seven seasons, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson formed one of the NFL’s best passing game duos for the Lions. It helped evolve Johnson into a first-ballot Hall of Famer despite the lack of any postseason success.
Now Johnson is hoping that Stafford can taste the success in Los Angeles. On an appearance with the “Rich Eisen Show” this week, Johnson seemed elated for Stafford being in the Super Bowl in his first season away from Detroit.
“It’s great. I’m happy for the kid,” Johnson told Eisen. “When we were in Detroit, the years we were trending toward the playoffs, we felt like we had a team that could take it all the way – and a lot of that is because we had a great quarterback.”
