Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions, a wide receiver, is unlikely to make a new list because he was not selected for the Pro Bowl this season. The gifted wide receiver revealed last season that the disappointment of being selected in the fourth round of the NFL has given him all the drive he will ever need to strive to outperform those chosen before him. NFL.com named wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk of Detroit, safety Antoine Winfield Jr., cornerback L’Jarius Snead, quarterback Josh Allen, and linebacker Quincy Williams as the best Pro Bowl snubs.
“Earning a spot as a wideout is a tough nut to crack, but the Sun God deserves praise for helping spearhead the Lions’ turnaround. St. Brown is fifth in the NFL with 1,371 receiving yards, tied for second with 112 catches, and tied for fifth with nine receiving touchdowns,” writer Kevin Patra explained. “His 91.4 yards per game rank fifth-most, and his 70 first downs are tied for third among pass-catchers.”
Although St. Brown has shown himself to be a top wide receiver this season, most NFL fans probably aren’t aware of him because of his lack of spectacular performances. Using the phrase “consistency” to push himself to play at a very high level every week, the 24-year-old wideout remains the most dependable player in the league.
“Whenever Jared Goff needs a play, odds are, he’s targeting St. Brown, and odds are, St. Brown will convert. The 2021 fourth-round pick owns the ability to create space, plus the vise-grip hands to catch everything zipped his way. St. Brown is the complete package.”
