Former Steelers receiver Lynn Swann retired at age 30 with 336 catches for 5,462 yads and 51 touchdowns. But Swann says that Calvin Johnson, who’s expected to retire at the age of 30 with 731 catches for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns, shouldn’t join him in the Hall of Fame.

So essentially Calvin had already passed Swann's career stats in half the time. Better to stay silent Swann.

Different rules different game. Hard to say what Swann would have done with the rules in place. And you can not compare Johnson to Swann but compare him to his peers.

Not defending Swann's comments at all, but he and Johnson basically played different games. Comparing their stats with no context doesn't really say much.

He's definitely wrong though.
