Calvin Johnson: Combine results and workout sources
The 2007 table records a 4.35 second sprint at 239 pounds. Its jump, lifting and agility fields are blank. That source does not support a 42.5 inch vertical or a 139 inch broad jump for the event.
Read the workout in context
Detroit selected the Georgia Tech receiver second overall. The size and sprint combination explains why the workout attracts attention, but an empty field still needs its own source. A mark from another event or athlete cannot fill the gap.
Testing table
Source setting: compiled combine record. Values below follow the linked record. A blank field stays unknown; only a source that says DNP supports that label.

What the measurements tell you
The college listed for this draft entry is Georgia Tech. The selection was round 1, pick 2, in 2007, by Detroit Lions. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
The reviewed draft record lists 6 ft 5 in and 239 pounds. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
Using the results fairly
Jumps test power in different directions. The cone and shuttle use different paths, so their times are not interchangeable. Lifting repetitions do not show catching skill or passing accuracy. These tests add a physical snapshot to a draft report; they do not replace film, production or a medical review.
This table follows the source notes rather than choosing the best mark from several events. Where a second report differs, the event note explains the gap. We publish no percentile without a defined comparison group, sample size and calculation.
What to check for this record
The record supports a sprint and draft measurements, not a complete set of drills. A plausible sounding jump figure still needs a record for the correct event. An impressive playing profile still needs a separate source for each numerical testing claim.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Detroit Lions selected the Georgia Tech WR in round 1, at pick 2, in 2007. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
