11. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions: 84 Points (ACTIVE)

The greatest wide receiver of his generation currently sits just outside the NFL’s top 10 receivers of all-time. But it is just a matter of time before “Megatron” climbs even higher on this list. How high will he climb? My guess is that he will be inside the top four or five by the time he retires. He’s climbed this high on this ranking in just seven years in the league. Just seven years, people. He already is one of the Lions’ top players in franchise history.

Two times he’s led the league in receiving yards, once he’s led the league in receiving touchdowns and once he’s led the league in receptions. He’s been named First Team All-Pro three times and has been invited to the four Pro Bowls in his career. He’s already put together Hall of Fame numbers and he hasn’t even turned 30 years old yet. He is simply dominating his era in a tremendous way.
