The Big Question for Georgia Tech Fans

Where will Calvin Johnson start his professional football career?

Johnson is definitely putting on quite a show at the NFL Scouting Combine. Don Banks (SI.com) argues that Johnson is hands-down the best player in this year's NFL draft. The day after Banks' report, Calvin ran the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds -- in a pair of borrowed shoes! Anything below 4.4 is considered "elite" for a wide receiver. Especially one who is 6'5" and weighs 239 lbs. Sadly, it doesn't look like Calvin will go first in the draft, since the first few teams don't need receivers. But it seems pretty much settled that Johnson will wind up in the top five. We'll have to wait until April 28 to find out.
