Lions slot receiver and former Sun God who has caught 100+ passes in three consecutive seasons.
Amon-Ra St. Brown was the 112th pick of the 2021 draft. He has since rewritten the Lions' receiving record book. The 2025 season delivered 117 catches and 1,401 yards, finishing top-five in the league in both categories. He's the heartbeat of Detroit's offense and one of the few receivers who consistently wins inside the numbers and at the line of scrimmage.
Path to the league
USC product whose father is bodybuilder John Brown, who named all three sons after Egyptian deities (Equanimeous, Osiris, Amon-Ra). Slid to the fourth round due to underwhelming combine speed. Caught 90 passes as a rookie and broke out from there.
Career highlights
3x Pro Bowl. 2023 first-team All-Pro. Set the NFL record for most catches by an undrafted player in their first three seasons. Lions franchise records for single-season catches (119 in 2023) and yards (1,515 in 2024).
2025 season recap
117 catches for 1,401 yards and 10 TDs across 17 games. Detroit went 14-3 and reached the NFC Championship. St. Brown's connection with Jared Goff is the league's most efficient short-to-intermediate passing tandem. Signed a four-year, $120 million extension in 2024 that runs through 2028.
