Amon-Ra St. Brown won the German brother duel in the NFL and is slowly becoming a star with the Detroit Lions.
The 22-year-old wide receiver started his sixth touchdown of the season on Sunday at the Lions’ surprising 37:30 against the Green Bay Packers, the clearly favored team of his older brother Equanimeous (25). Never before had a German professional made it into the end zone more than once.
His father John obviously wanted to distribute his sympathies fairly – he wore a jersey in the stands that was sewn together from the shirts of both teams. Equanimeous St. Brown played no role, but he moves on to the playoffs as a promising title contender with the best NFC team (13-4 wins). The Lions (3-13-1) had no chance for a long time, but as the second weakest NFL team they are number two in the next top talent draw.
