Amon-Ra St. Brown can put a tick behind his written down season goals. The best-catch final at the Pro Bowl Games on Sunday from 8:15 p.m. live.

It was the stated goal. He even had it written down specifically.

Now there he is. On the field of Allegiant Stadium. He’s a Pro Bowler.

Amon-Ra St. Brown completes a near-perfect season by playing in the selection games of the AFC and NFC’s best.

“I had two goals before the season: 1,000 receiving yards and the Pro Bowl. Now I’m a Pro Bowl back-up. “

Amon-Ra St. Brown among top ten wide receivers

He reached the 1,000 receiving yards mark on the third-last day of the game – in a loss to the Carolina Panthers, of all teams, that put the Lions out of the playoffs.

With 1,161 yards, he missed the league’s top 10 by only 30 yards, but is among the top 10 wide receivers – Travis Kelce is eighth as a tight end with 1,338 yards.

“It’s just cool to be here. My family is here, my friends,” the California-born 23-year-old enthused.

Amon-Ra St. Brown on par with Michael Thomas

St. Brown, the son of an American and a German mother, is adding the finishing touches to his extremely convincing season with his participation in Las Vegas. After an already strong rookie season, another step up.

In addition to setting a personal best, he also set a league record. Eight games in a row with eight caught passes – only Michael Thomas and Antonio Brown managed this extraordinary value.

In addition, he scored a touchdown in six consecutive games during this phase – even an NFL record that had not existed before.

These numbers were certainly not a set goal, but they demonstrate his exceptionally good season.

Amon-Ra St. Brown keeps goals in a book

For the upcoming season, the 23-year-old is still holding back on his second home Leverkusen. “Three or four weeks before the season, I write down my goals,” says St. Brown.

And these goals are then written down. In a little booklet. “I then have that in my backpack and always with me wherever I go,” he reveals.

Now his attention is still focused on the last big event of the season. His Pro Bowl experience.

And there is still something to be achieved here too -namely winning the “Best Catch” competition.

On Sunday before the three flag football games he will duel with Stefon Diggs for the title. In the semi-finals he had prevailed against Justin Jefferson. “I didn’t even know I won at first,” says St Brown.

He has his sights set on something for the final – and that will involve support from older brother Equanimeous: “Hopefully we’ll have something special for you. I’m going to do something with my brother. “

But even without the best-catch title, the season would be an exceptional one for the 23-year-old wide receiver.

Because with the Pro Bowl participation alone, he has not only achieved his written goal in his little book, he has also accomplished something historic.

“Being a German-American football player in the Pro Bowl is very cool,” he says, “it’s unbelievable. “
