Megatron #3

Megatron ranks third in Top 100



Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson has been voted by his peers as the No. 3 player in the NFL for the second straight year.

Other Lions voted in the top 100 include defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (No. 40), linebacker Stephen Tulloch (63) and quarterback Matthew Stafford (76
