Will Amon-Ra St. Brown soon be one of the best receivers in the league? The German, who has already set NFL records, seems to have a terrific career ahead of him

Munich – In the narrow Thanksgiving loss (25:28) against the Buffalo Bills, Amon-Ra St. Brown once again showed what incredible potential he has. With 122 receiving yards, nine receptions and one touchdown, the German was once again one of the best Detroit Lions players on the field.

The German, who has already steadily improved over the course of his first season in the NFL, has meanwhile become Lions quarterback Jared Goff’s favourite receiver: “He’s one of the best players in the league right now and certainly as good as anyone in the slot. He helps us a lot when he’s fit and healthy, and having those guys around him has certainly helped as well.”

But what makes St Brown so strong?

Lions coach Dan Campbell speaks highly of St. Brown

The 23-year-old is an impossibly sure-handed ball receiver. So far in his NFL career, 207 passes have been thrown in his direction, 155 of which he’s caught. In the last three games alone, he has been successful with 26 of his 29 targets.

At the beginning of the season, the wide receiver even set an NFL record. Over the course of the season, he had eight games in a row with at least eight receptions. Only Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown managed that before him.

In addition, St. Brown, who was born in California, has an impeccable attitude. Head Coach Dan Campell recently confirmed this to “The Athletic”: “He works like it’s the last day he can play the game. Every play he works on the details of the route. He has taught himself that practice is a lot like a game for him. His approach to the game is like nothing I’ve ever seen. “

Will St. Brown get even better?

His teammates also showered the German with praise time and again in recent months. Also because he keeps asking questions in the meetings to improve further.

In the upcoming games, St. Brown could improve his numbers even more. Against the Bills, the Lions played St. Brown, DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds for the first time since the third round, and in the coming weeks rookie Jameson Willimas, who Detroit selected 12th overall in the 2022 draft, is expected to return from a torn ACL.

That should give St. Brown even more room to play in the middle of the field and increase the chance for “big plays” and touchdowns.

It might not be long before St. Brown is actually one of the elite receivers in the NFL.
