Calvin Johnson Finally Breaks His Social Media Silence [PHOTO]

Calvin Johnson walked away from the NFL with a simple press release.

Some fans wanted to hear from Johnson, but that opportunity just wasn't there. Personally I thought there would have been some type of press conference to celebrate Johnson's enormous career, but that just isn't the type of guy he is.

Sunday, Johnson broke his silence and posted to his Instagram account. Before Sunday, he hadn't sent out a photo in 25 weeks.

And this is what he said.

"Thanks to my delivery guy and @pizzahut for the retirement pizza," Johnson deadpanned in the caption. Lavish parties and five-star cuisine? Nah, just a pizza.

The last thing previous to this that Johnson had put on his Twitter account was a retweet of The Ticket's very own Tony Ortiz getting the game ball after his final game in Chicago.

*UPDATE*

Calvin is now taking time to respond to his friends and former teammates on Twitter.

Do you still hope to hear something more substantial from Calvin Johnson?
