Calvin Johnson was one of the greatest wide receivers to play the game of football. He played nine years with the Detroit Lions before retiring, and many felt it was way too early. He caught for over 11,000 yards and caught 83 touchdowns. During his playing days with the Lions, Johnson had heard plenty of things while playing on the gridiron — but who was the biggest trash-talker?
Johnson appeared on the St. Brown Podcast, hosted by Amon-Ra St. Brown, and called Vikings legend Jared Allen the best trash talker.
“Jared Allen,” Johnson said. “When we played the Vikings, their D-Line was just ruthless, and Jared Allen was the ring leader. He would talk so dirty to our lineman, I would feel bad for them.”
Allen played with the Vikings from 2008 to 2013 and was one of the best defensive end players. He racked up an amazing 85.5 sacks during his stay with the Vikings, and fans will always cherish what he did for Minnesota after coming over from the Kansas City Chiefs.
