Amon-Ra St. Brown is quickly making a name for himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. The second-year pro out of USC has been a dominant force for the Detroit Lions, and his impressive play has earned him widespread recognition and praise from fans and analysts alike.
In his first season with the Lions, St. Brown played in all 17 games and finished with 90 catches for 912 yards and five touchdowns. He showed flashes of his potential, but it was clear that he was still adjusting to the speed and physicality of the NFL game.
This year, St. Brown has taken his game to another level. He has started all 11 games for the Lions and has already eclipsed his rookie totals, with 76 catches for 830 yards and six touchdowns. His impressive performance has helped the Lions to a 5-7 record and put them in position to compete for a playoff spot in a tough NFC North division.
What sets St. Brown apart is his combination of size, speed, and route-running ability. At 6'0" and 202 pounds, he has the size to win battles against larger cornerbacks, and his speed allows him to get behind defenses and make big plays. He has a knack for finding open space and making contested catches, and his ability to create separation has made him a favorite target of Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
In a league filled with talented wide receivers, St. Brown is making a strong case for being among the best. His impressive play this season has earned him recognition as a legitimate star, and there is no doubt that he will continue to be a key part of the Lions' offense for years to come.
