Lions All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is a big fan of the team hiring former Stanford head coach David Shaw as Detroit’s new passing game coordinator. The St. Brown family, including Amon-Ra, has a long history with Shaw.
“I’ve known Shaw since high school,” St. Brown conversed with his brother, Equanumeous in the latest episode of their podcast. Shaw recruited all three St. Brown brothers–Amon-Ra, Equanimeous and Osiris–to play for him at Stanford. Osiris wound up joining Shaw with the Cardinal.
“I always thought he was a great guy, honest, and then you went to Notre Dame and Osiris always wanted to go to Stanford, so he ended up going to Stanford,” St. Brown stated. “I went to the camps at Stanford with him, with Osiris, saw Shaw there, and so we kind of got to know him.”
Shaw will work closely with new Lions offensive coordinator John Morton, who was with the Lions in 2022 and returned after two seasons in Denver. St Brown is pumped about the passing game concepts and potential with the new leadership on the offense.
“He was with Johnny (Morton) in Denver and Johnny Mo was doing a lot of good stuff when he was here in Detroit so I’m excited,” St. Brown said.
