Eddie George has a great sense of humor. A TMZ cameraman mistook the former great NFL running back for wide receiver Calvin Johnson. Did George correct the guy’s mistake? Nope, he decided to pretend to be Megatron.
This video was classic. George had some great responses to these questions. It looks like he’s got a good chance at any acting career if he wants it.
Thanks to TMZ for the video.

Fair warning that the video above is a TMZ clip and therefore has voiceover narration that’ll make you punchy. Anyway, the gist is that the TMZ celebrity airport stalker working the LAX beat came across Eddie George and thought he was Calvin Johnson. That’s… well… [rubs temples] That’s too retarded to even be racist. I hope my suspicions are correct...
