Calvin Johnson Type Dreams ...

Yeah I think even we under rate Colston. He's not Calvin Johnson but he does share one trait with him. Even when he's covered or double covered yoiu can still throw it to him and expect him to come down with the ball. It's a joke that when people discuss the best WRs in the league they never even mention his name.

He has been playing really good so far.

You're right, after comparing Colston's career stats to Calvin's, they compare favorably and you can argue it's an oversight not to include him that discussion.

They've both been in the league roughly the same amount of time, and even if you take away Colston's rookie season to compare them year-to-year, they still have similiar numbers. They both also rank closely among the top active receivers in all categories.

You learn something new everyday ... I always thought Colston was good, but when you break it down, he's even better then you originally thought.
