Lions QB Jon Kitna was asked if rookie WR Calvin Johnson was living up to expectations.
No question,� quarterback Jon Kitna said after Friday's practice at Detroit Renaissance High School. �The kid is as good as everybody said he was, or better.� Kitna made a reference to a practice earlier in the week. Mike Furrey and Shaun McDonald were not at practice. Roy Williams has not practiced while recovering from a slight hamstring injury. Johnson had to step in at different positions, and he wasn't fazed. Every play was designed for Calvin,� Kitna said. He handled it great. He seems to be fine. He�s the first one on the field. He takes care of his body. Kitna is going into his 11th pro season. He was asked if has played with any receiver who compares with Johnson in raw ability. He's a lot like Roy, Kitna said. I haven't played with anyone like that big, who runs, snatches everything. �This guy is like the perfect mold for receivers, and he has the desire to be great. He went above what I thought he could be. He has a different way about him. �He doesn�t take any plays off. He gets mad at himself. That's a good thing?
