Amon-Ra St. Brown is setting a breathtaking pace in the NFL in his second year. Meanwhile, accolades and records no longer surprise him. Because he wants more. Much more.

Munich – Amon-Ra St. Brown is not only collecting touchdowns.

The Detroit Lions’ wide receiver continues his captivating form from last season as stringently as if there had never been an offseason. That’s why he not only collects catches in the end zone, but also top marks and awards.

He reveals, however, that he is not really interested in them.

Amon-Ra St. Brown: Proud of consistency

“I would say that I am proud of my consistency, definitely. That’s something I take very seriously,” St. Brown said on ESPN. “But the records are what they are. I don’t go into a match thinking, ‘Yo, let me set this record.’ It just happens that way. “

However, quite a lot just happens this young season. He set the record for games with eight or more catches in a game with eight games, and against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday he can extend that record to nine games and would be the sole record holder. Only Randy Moss and Rob Gronkowski have scored touchdowns in six consecutive games under the age of 23.

Consequently, he was named “NFC Offensive Player of the Week”.

ESPN backs that up with more numbers: Since entering the NFL in 2021, St. Brown has caught 74.3 percent of the throws thrown at him, and dropped only two balls. Both stats are seventh-best league-wide over the period.

St. Brown himself is taking the current hype in stride. He has bigger things in store anyway.

“I think it’s normal now. I’m not surprised at all anymore. When I see the award, I’m not excited anymore,” St Brown said. “I want more. I want more than that, whether it’s playoffs, Super Bowl, Pro Bowl, All-Pro, whatever it is. I want more. This award was cool, I see people like to post it and congratulate me, but I don’t care about that. My goal is bigger than that. “
