    You know.. I've pondered this myself and personally I think he will be a better than average receiver in the NFL but nothing legendary. I do hope I am wrong but from what I've seen.. I do not see a Jerry Rice or Randy Moss.

    Have you ever seen any of his games!


    He was wr of the year with the worst qb you could have. On any other team he was this years heisman

    Reggie Ball over threw the ball, under threw the ball, threw the ball to the left and right of him, but he manage Wr of the year. That tells you something right there.................. thats he's a special player


    Just youtube him!

    I thought in highschool, he was good, then college he got even better, who knows he may step it up again. He should have played baseball, he was better at that believe it or not.

    I wouldn't say Ball was the worst QB. He has the talent, he just fucks up a bit. Needs more focus and training. When he's on, he's on. Reminds me of Vick in a way. Except Ball can throw. More. Now don't get me wrong, he isn't near the best, but he has potential. Later, QD.

    Yeah your right, I was just caught up in the moment. Reggie did pretty decent for most of this past season until the Clemson game. After that game we get win some more games, but he wasnt on it like he was at the beginning of the season.

    Are you serious?

    Let's just hand the man a ProBowl appearance and put his name on the HoF ballott before he even steps foot on an NFL field.

    No shit. Nobody said anything about beating his touchdown receptions. At his current size, Johnson is taller (6'5'') and bigger (240 lbs) than Owens, while running at nearly the same speed. At the NFL Combine, he picked up someone else's shoes and ran for fun, in a measly 4.4. Check out this video for probably one of his best career catches.

    All I can say is there's a reason why every team in the NFL wanted him and he's going to prove that soon................

    So he is going to catch a bunch of swing passes out of the back field?

    I am not saying that he won't be good, but he is not just going to walk into the league and become great over night. Left him do a crossing pattern in the NFL and get his head taken off a few times before you label him the GOAT.

    I'm not claiming him as GOAT (some might but not me), but I do believe that he's the Labron of football

    CJ is that great if his health is as good as jerry's he will break his record at 6'5 240 there is not a CB in the league to match up to him. throw the ball in his direction and he will go get it. No offense to jerry rice or anything but the game is alot faster now then it was when he was in his prime.

    That may be, but as of right now he is a rookie. Look at Vernon Davis coming out of last year's draft. He was the best TE PROSPECT in the history of the NFL draft. He didn't do too hot his rookie season. This is not to say that he will never be great, but you can't just hand him the title.

    To break Jerry Rice's records he would have to be injury free for about 15 years. Not going to happen.

    NFL Records
    Rice held the following NFL records at the time of his retirement:

    Regular Season
    Receptions (1,549)
    Receiving yards (22,895)
    Touchdown receptions(198)
    All-purpose yards (23,540)
    Touchdowns (208)
    Receiving yards gained in a single season (1,848)
    Touchdown receptions in a single season (22)
    Seasons with at least 50 receptions (17)
    Seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards (14)
    Games with at least 100 receiving yards (76)
    Consecutive games with at least one reception (274)
    Consecutive games with at least one touchdown reception (13)

    Postseason
    Games played (28)
    Touchdowns (22)
    Receptions (151)
    Yards receiving (2,245)
    Touchdown receptions in a single game (3, three times; 10 others have had 3 in a game once)
    Games with at least 100 receiving yards (8)
    Consecutive games with at least one reception (28)

    Super Bowl
    Receptions (33)
    Yards receiving (589)
    All-purpose yards (604)
    Touchdown receptions (8)
    Points scored (48)
    Receptions in a single game (11)
    Yards receiving in a single game (215)
    Touchdown receptions in a single game (3, twice)
    Points scored in a single game (18, twice)

    THAT is the greatest of all time. Please tell me you people are not tr ying to give a rookie the title before the start of his first season?


    The total TDs may not last very long, but the rest will.

    The most consistant reciever since Jerry Rice has been Marvin Harrison. With 11 full seasons in the NFL, Harrison is still 527 receptions behind Rice. He is also 9,198 yards behind Rice. He has 122 TDs.


    LaDainian Tomlinson has the best chance to break the total TD record. He is at 100 TDs in just 6 seasons. He would have to stay healthy for the next 4 years to do it.




    The defense of the greatest wide reciever in NFL history rests, your honor.

    You sir, are a moron. Although he may be "the shit" in college, this is the NFL. He may be good in the NFL too, but do you know how many draft busts there are per year?

    It's true Calvin was shut down by paul oliver and a couple other CBs from UGA. Every WR or any other football player has good day's and bad day's. I know cause ive been there b4. Will he be good in the pro's? Not much can be said, well cuz he hasnt even been through his 1st NFL 2-a-days. Personally, i think if he stay's consistent and learns the ropes, he will have a very bright future in the NFL.
