Calvin Johnson has a complex relationship with the Detroit Lions, so it's a big deal when he shows up, unannounced, at Ford Field.

Johnson did just that recently, showed up at Ford Field and took some friendly photos to share on social media. The trip has fans and critics speculating that, maybe, he and the Ford family have made up and are playing nice. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.

Johnson posted a photo to Instagram sitting the Ford Field seats, saying he’d never really sat there before.

“Here’s to the fans that have supported me during my time in the league. Week after week. Rain, snow or shine you were always there. I’ve never experienced this POV maybe I’ll grab season tickets next year,” Johnson wrote.

He also posted a pic on his Twitter account.
