    I like the article on Stevie Johnson, but you might want to edit this:

    "This season, Johnson has done exactly what great receivers don't and what average receivers do: disappear."

    Stevie has done was great receivers don't do - disappear
    Stevie has done what average receivers do - disappear

    That is how that reads. Other than that, good read!
