Detroit –
A touchdown in the NFL is now normal for Amon-Ra St. Brown. “I expect it of myself,” said the 22-year-old football pro from the German news agency after his Detroit Lions’ first win of the season. “I want to do more, I want more yards, more touchdowns. If I don’t land a touchdown, I’ll be pissed.” St. Brown is already good enough to break NFL records and has long been the number one pass recipient for Lions.
The German-American had two touchdowns in his team’s 36:27 against the Washington Commanders on Sunday and now has eight in his last six National Football League games. The fact that he has also received at least eight passes plus a touchdown in those six games is an NFL record: no Front Adams, no Antonio Brown, no Randy Moss and no Odell Beckham Jr. “It doesn’t get more stable. You can count on it. him for deliveries every day, “said coach Dan Campbell.
In his 19 NFL games to date, St. Brown has not only earned the respect of his peers with his touchdowns, but also with the work he does to block the way for other players. “He’s a pit bull ringing the receiver,” Campbell said.
Just under two years ago, St. Brown, whose older brother Equanimeous St. Brown plays for the Chicago Bears, was ignored by all teams for three rounds of talent selection. Only the Lions used one of their picks in the fourth round and brought it to Detroit. This still worries the ambitious athlete, he can list all the names of passport recipients who were selected before him. “I like being perfect in everything I do. If I make a mistake, I’m hard on myself, ”St. Brown said at the press conference following his gala performance with nine passes taken for a total of 116 yards and another 68 yards leading the ball across the field after a handover .
The polite son of a German father and an American father does not lack self-confidence: “I don’t make many mistakes. When I do one, it irritates me. I promise you, I’m not wrong twice, “he told reporters in Detroit. At the moment he’s doing most of all: a lot of things right.
