Amon-Ra St. Brown: ‘You Can’t Double Everyone’ in Lions’ Passing Game.
For the second straight season, the USC product has already accumulated more than 1,000 receiving yards (1,042) in 11 games this year. He has accomplished this while catching 73 percent of the passes thrown to him by Lions quarterback Jared Goff. In addition, he is currently averaging a career-high 12.4 yards per catch.
St. Brown is a talented receiver, and defenses are starting to double-team the 2021 fourth-round pick more frequently as a result.
With defenses focusing as much attention as they have on St. Brown, though, it’s opened up other receivers in Detroit’s potent passing attack. And, as the third-year pro alluded to Thursday, it’s helped create an advantageous situation for the Lions, which feature multiple play-making pass-catchers.
