Peyton Manning Plays Catch with Megatron

From Peyton's Places Season 3 Episode 4: When his son, Marshall, spends the day sick at home, Peyton tells him a football version of "The Princess Bride." A tale of "dreamcatchers," wide receivers Peyton dreamed of throwing a pass to, comes to life with the help of Calvin Johnson.

Get this kid, not only one of the greatest receivers ever, but one of the greatest running backs ever, played for Detroit. Neither got close to a Superbowl.

Only receiver I’ve seen who had it all. Size, speed, strength, hands, routes, vertical, intelligence, work ethic, character. An absolute freak athlete. It was a joy to watch every Sunday for 9 years. One pride.

[@CaponeCraps]

As a Bears fan, that was 100% a catch and the moment I first lost confidence in NFL officiating

[@EndzoneProdzz]

Megatron deserved to win a SB.

From all of us in Detroit, thanks for the memories, Mr Megatron Johnson

[@a1rjt196]

Calvin is still one of my favorite players ever, he was that guy

[@arrowguy173]

PRINCESS BRIDE!!❤ love the tribute to one of the absolute greatest books and films ever. Gold.

[@ProVokeGames]

Signature catch was when he was in college and he dove full body parallel to the ground with a 1 hand grab. That catch will live on as one of the greatest catches I've ever seen in the history of football. Not 1 other WR could have made that catch.

[@Mike_Levinson]

Imagine these two playing together in their primes...

[@chrishorton6085]

Love the princess bride vibe with the kid. And the buttercup reference too. 😆

[@Est.1998]

Most complete WR ever. 6’5” 240 running a 4.3 and could block with the best of them and run through tackles. And his leaping ability? Forget about it. He had no weaknesses. So glad I got to grow up watching him on Sundays. Even tho I’m a die hard giants fan the lions are my home town team and Calvin’s royalty around these parts.

This was hilarious! Peyton did the "Princess Bride" thing perfectly! 🤣🤣🤣

[@FM-sw7oh]

Calvin & Barry were to humble to stay with a non playoff team that didn’t care about them!!!!! But they stuck it out ! That’s true loyalty!!! Salute to one of the greatest that never had a chance to win the Super Bowl!!

[@roguesample]

Idk if it was more fun to watch Calvin and Matt be the only thing that decides if we win a game - but boy was it entertaining seeing what rabbits they’d try and pull out of their helmets

[@prodigaIProdigy]

Megatron seems like a great sport making this video. Really well judged balancing the skit elements with asking some actually interesting questions and giving Calvin room to answer. Hard not to like all these Peyton videos when they're so well crafted.

[@desert_sky_guy]

This is everything great about the game of football. Legends telling their stories with world-class production behind it. <3

[@DLIONSJR02]

There is no other player in this league or history that can resemble Megatron. No matter how bad the lions were, Megatron WILL catch the rock over ANYONE 😤 There is no other dominate receiver that can go up and grab the rock like Megatron. I’m PROUD to call myself a Detroit Lions fan and have a legend like Megatron that once ruled the skies on my team 😤 No matter if it was a “early retirement” he went through hell and back every week to become the greatest of all time. Thank you Megatron for the fun times that you gave me and my dad and the city of Detroit.

Wow Peyton and Mega playin catch at Ford Field. Made my day

[@michaelmcdermott209]

Calvin Johnson was a pleasure to watch play here in Detroit, we all loved him even though the rest of the team was lackluster we always had Calvin to make the game exciting.
