The Road to the NFL[]
Johnson playing against division rival Green Bay in January 2012.
After graduating from Georgia Tech, Johnson started off hot. After going 0-16 in 2008, Detroit used the first pick in the draft on Georgia QB Matthew Stafford, and Johnson missed just two games in '09. In 2012, he was voted to be the cover athlete of Madden NFL 13, but the "Madden Curse" proved no match for him, as he was selected as a starter for the NFC in the Pro Bowl. He led the league in receptions and receiving yards that season.
