Orlando (dpa) – NFL professional Amon-Ra St. Brown also impressed at the Pro Bowl. The German-American from the Detroit Lions caught ten passes for 173 yards in the American Football League’s all-star event and scored a touchdown for the NFC team.
The 24-year-old’s team won against the AFC team 64:59, with the results of a flag football game being added together with other competitions. The low-contact version of flag football will be Olympic for the first time in 2028 in Los Angeles.
St. Brown was called up by the Philadelphia Eagles to replace the injured AJ Brown. He had already taken part in the show event for the best NFL players of the season last year as a replacement.
St. Brown had previously been annoyed that he was not chosen directly for the event in Orlando, Florida, a week before the Super Bowl, because he has had a strong season. He set career highs with 119 caught passes in the regular season for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns. Only two players had more passes caught and yards passed, and only three professionals had more touchdowns. In the playoff semifinals, Detroit and St. Brown narrowly failed against the San Francisco 49ers and thus missed out on a place in the Super Bowl.
