Calvin Johnson played in a run-heavy system at Georgia Tech, but that didn't stop him from being productive and showcasing his talent enough that the Detroit Lions made him the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

It seems the folks at the College Football Hall of Fame noticed, too.

Johnson will be part of the 2018 class, as he's been selected to be inducted in his first year of eligibility. He joins a class that includes Michigan's Charles Woodson, Miami's Ed Reed and coaches Mack Brown and Frank Beamer, among others.

In three seasons at Georgia Tech, Johnson had 178 receptions and 28 touchdowns. As a junior, Johnson had 76 catches for 1,202 yards and 15 TDs.

Johnson was a six-time Pro Bowl selection with the Lions. He finished his NFL career with 731 catches for 11,619 yards receiving and 83 touchdowns.
