Congratulations are in order for Calvin Johnson, who got engaged this week to girlfriend Brittney McNorton.

Johnson was in Baltimore to attend the Ed Block Courage Awards and decided to propose to McNorton. McNorton, who is a Detroit Lions employee, told The Baltimore Sun that Calvin proposed to her while they were walking along Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

“The situation was just right, just happened to be right, we were on vacation, so why not?” Megatron said of his proposal.

McNorton is a former Fox Sports Detroit girl who began working for the Lions in 2008, Megatron’s second season in the league. She became known on the internet last year after threatening to “molly wop” Johnson’s baby mama.

Unions are the trend among the Lions. Not only did Calvin and Brittney get engaged, but Matt Stafford and fiancee Kelly Hall are set to get married in two weeks.
