The Journey of Amon Ra St. Brown: One of The NFL's Most Dynamic Receivers

Amon Ra St. Brown is an NFL wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. His father, John Brown, won Mr. Universe twice in the 80s, and his mother is from Germany. Amon Ra has two brothers, all played Division I college football, all speak 3 languages, and all have around a 4.0 GPA. Their father had them working out in the gym when they were young, and their mother was just as steadfast when it came to their minds.
Amon Ra went to Mater Dei High School, a school known for their high school football, where he excelled. Hear from his coaches and teammates about what kind of a player and student he was.
Amon Ra then went to USC to play college football. He broke multiple records as a wide receiver and had three great seasons with them.
He thought he would be drafted in the second or third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, however, he ended up being drafted on the third day by the Detroit Lions. Amon Ra St. Brown made his mission to make the rest of the NFL pay for passing on him. Ever since joining the Detroit Lions, he is considered to be in the top 5 receivers in the league and continuously improves with every season. For 24 hours, due to his extension, Amon Ra was the highest paid receiver in the NFL.

What separates St. Brown from everyone else is he is a phenomenal teammate and leader.

[@zarka223]

Absolutely!

[@ianburton5053]

Serious! On every Lions touchdown highlight, he is celebrating with the player that scored!

[@darrickstruble5768]

Not to mention his incredible work ethic.. he IS the hardest working player on the field..

He is a really smart dude

[@gaypreator8547]

He has great parents that were involved in his life. Then turned him loose to be his own man. Detroit and St Brown great combo. ✌️🏈

All 3 kids have 4.0, took the SAT in French, spent semesters abroad, speak german fluently, AND their dad added Saint so his children wouldnt have a slave name, Quite a unique implication of Dubois's double consciousness. Amon brother! Rumble young men rumble!

I’m a Chicago Bears fan. I respect and love Amon Ra’s game even though he is a Detroit Lion! Great story!

[@cgpapineau]

I simply can't say enough good things about Amon-Ra St. Brown. Many see him as just a great slot receiver who moves the chains. He is much more than that! 1500 yards last season says that on its own. He is virtually unstoppable in the slot with those great hands, but he also runs great post routes and can burn a safety with his speed if he has to. Add into that a fearless attitude when it comes to blocking, and you have a complete player. He is also a clutch performer. That's on the field. Off the field, the man is a workhorse who is a great example for the whole team, not just the receivers. He is as tough as nails. He is approachable by the fans. This man epitomizes what a Detroit Lion should be. His contract was big, but he is worth it. Much love and respect to #14! One Pride! Go Lions!

[@zarka223]

💯 he’s exactly the kind of receiver and person you want on your team. He motivates everyone around him

[@cgpapineau]

​@@zarka223I've been watching the Lions since the early 70s. My favorite player was Lem Barney (The Supernatural!) because he could do so much and was such a team guy. St. Brown is.even above him in my book. A relentless competitor who constantly strives for greatness. I love that chip on his shoulder and that he can name all the receivers selected before him. I think he's yellow jacket material.

[@jgiannavola55]

THIS IS MY GUY. I've lived in Detroit my whole life, but I didn't become a Lions fan until 2021. Amon-Ra St. Brown was the first name I learned on the Brand New Lions. I saw a video of when he went undercover at a hospital, and spoke to a couple of nurses who were Lions fans. And when I learned that even early on he was giving back to the city of Detroit, I was like: T h a t ' s m y g u y. His jersey is the first sports jersey I've ever owned.

[@zarka223]

He’s a great player and an even better person

Getting him and his production in the fourth Rd is part of why this team is so good. Keep finding St. Browns and Branches later in the draft and this team will find glory sooner than later.

[@zarka223]

Hey everyone! There is a weird cut around the 8:07 mark. Sorry about that. 8 days after uploading the video, the NFL copyrighted a section that I had to trim out. So instead of editing the video and reupload it, I decided to just trim the section out. It’s getting hard to edit these! The NFL are sticklers on their product (which is understandable) but I try my best to edit these videos in a way to avoid those copyright issues. Cheers!

It's crazy. I remember in 2021 I used his name as a punching bag to state how bad that Lions receiving corp was.

It took him a while to even get targets. It wasn’t until his game winning catch vs Minnesota that he started getting more targets. With his work ethic, it was just a matter of time before he became the receiver he is today.

[@ericsanger4408]

From my perspective, I see him as a human specimen. Emphasis on specimen. He is very inspiring but do I want to have that kind of regimen. No. What is 'great' what is 'average'? I have nothing to be great at (I was in music and was good, not great). I will not go down in the history books. He will. In a way it's Greco-Roman. On one hand, he was raised 'Lacedaemonian'. On the other, he possesses that intense Roman-esque 'ambition'. His parents have clearly melded mind and body into the competitor that he is but for what? Our entertainment? Riches? Certainly he is now a wealthy young man. I suspect his spirit is equally on par with the other attributes. Perhaps, vehemently atheistic? Perhaps, on fire the Lord whatever it may be. It doesn't matter. He is an interesting person that has pushed himself to be admired by other humans. Overall, I'm just happy that he's a Lion. If it weren't for Penei and then ARSB, these players, we would still be suffering our humiliating and ridiculous worst franchise in all of Sports history. Things are changing because of people like him.

[@zarka223]

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Great comment! He was molded into greatness and I’m very happy he’s with the Lions. He’s an inspiration to the rest of the team as well. I’m sure his work ethic rubs off on the rest of the team and now the Lions proved they will reward that work ethic
