As Super Bowl 56 unfolded, it was certainly a momentous occasion for fans of the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. There was one other fanbase, however, that was cheering their hearts out, the Detroit Lions. That is because their former quarterback Matthew Stafford, one of the five greatest players in the history of their franchise, was leading the Rams to a Super Bowl victory. One of those fans also happened to be one of Stafford's former teammates, Calvin Johnson. The NFL Hall-of-Famer was cheering on his former signal-caller just like many many Lions fans that saw Stafford give his all to Detroit for more than a decade. Johnson even took to Instagram to congratulate his former QB.

“From a Yellowjacket to a Bulldog, job well done #9.” – Calvin Johnson

Johnson was referencing the college days of the dynamic duo when both played football in the state of Georgia. Johnson was a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket from 2004-2006 and Stafford was a Georgia Bulldog from 2006-2008. Once they were both on the Lions, the two formed perhaps the most prolific duo in the history of the NFL before Johnson decided to hang up his cleats after the 2015 season and just nine years in the league. In 2012, Stafford helped Johnson to the NFL record for most receiving yards in a single regular season (1,964). Lions fans will have eternity to wonder about how many yards and touchdowns the two could have put up together, but for now, we can all sit back and marvel at Stafford's recent success…especially Johnson.
