Amon-Ra St. Brown is not just a name; he's a phenomenon, a force to be reckoned with in the realm of NFL wide receivers. Coming off a 2023 campaign where he amassed 119 receptions, 1,515 yards, and 10 touchdowns, the Detroit Lions' star receiver has no intention of slowing down. As he heads into the 2024 season, his mindset is razor-sharp. 'It’s a new year. Everything is reset. This is a 'what have you done for me lately' type of league,' St. Brown said via Eric Woodyard of ESPN (ClutchPoints). 'Right now, I’m at the bottom. I’ve got to restart, I’ve got to do it again. That’s what motivates me.'
The All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler is driven by the desire to prove that his past performances weren't flukes. 'It’s easy to put one or two years together. But to do it five, six, seven years that’s really what separates you. That’s my motivation, trying to do it again,' he emphasized (MLive).
The Lions' coaching staff and fans have every reason to believe that St. Brown will exceed expectations yet again. The offense, under the guidance of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, is poised to be one of the most potent in the league. 'I love Ben. I think we all love Ben here,' St. Brown said. 'He does a great job of bringing us new schemes that are similar but a little different, with little wrinkles in our offense that make it tough on defense because we have so many different formations, different shifts, movements' (MLive).
And it's not just about St. Brown. The Lions' offensive core is brimming with talent. Jared Goff, known for his sharp passes, will have an arsenal filled not only with St. Brown but also rising stars like Jameson Williams. Williams, who has had an impressive offseason and training camp, is another piece of the puzzle that makes Detroit's offense so formidable. Johnson’s confidence in him is 'as high as it’s ever been and continuing to climb,' as reported by Jeff Risdon (Lions Wire).
Looking ahead to the 2024 season, St. Brown's performance on the field will be pivotal. His determination and relentless pursuit of excellence provide the Lions with a secret weapon that could propel them deep into the playoffs once again. With the NFC Championship still fresh in everyone's minds, St. Brown is eager to go head-to-head with the Los Angeles Rams in the Week 1 opener. He’s been stewing over the NFC Championship game loss for several months and is primed to start the season with a bang (Pride Of Detroit).
As the season unfolds, the Lions' fans will be watching closely, thrilled at the prospect of witnessing St. Brown’s spectacular showcase of skills week in and week out. Whether he's making impossible catches or outrunning double teams, Amon-Ra St. Brown is set to be not just a player to watch, but the player that makes you rethink what’s possible on a football field.
