Best Lion
Calvin “Megatron” Johnson
Forget the readers who joked about the best Lion being Simba, or at the Detroit Zoo. After years of futility, capped by a major drop-off last season by a team that had finally seemed to have some real promise, there are plenty of places for disgruntled fans to point the finger of blame. Calvin Johnson, however, isn’t one of them. Megatron is flat-out awesome, a fact even the most ardent Lion-haters would have to admit. Simba, our ass. There is at least one great Lion in Detroit, and he is Megatron.
