Calvin Johnson hosted a high school football camp in partnership with the Detroit Lions this past weekend.

Johnson's connection with the Lions has been trending up lately as the franchise tries to repair its relationship with him.

The Hall of Fame wide receiver was also spotted on the sidelines during an OTA session in late May in addition to returning for the last day of mandatory minicamp Thursday.

Johnson credits Lions COO Mike Disner for helping mend the relationship, although he says there's still work to be done.

"I always say Mike Disner's been a huge part of bringing this thing back together with the team," Johnson said. "So I'm appreciative of them, appreciative of the whole organization allowing me to have it here and collabing with me in doing that because it's a heck of an experience for these kids."

Johnson's relationship soured in Detroit after being forced to pay back a little more than $1 million to the Lions upon his retirement after the 2015 season. However, he has been around the team facility more than usual this offseason.
