$120M Deal: St. Brown finally speaks on his career decision about leaving Detroit lions.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, a wide receiver for the Lions, showed how far he’s come since the day the team selected him by agreeing to a hefty contract extension on Wednesday.

In fact, St. Brown thought the entire 2021 NFL selection process had been a huge letdown: he wasn’t pleased with his performance to this point in the draft, nor was he pleased with the Lions selecting him in the fourth round.

“Three years ago, when I got that call at exactly this time, I told my brother [Equanimeous], ‘If there’s one team I don’t want to go to, that’s the Lions. Just, please, I don’t want to go to the Lions,” St. Brown said, via Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “I was happy but I was unhappy at the same time because I didn’t want to come here. But looking back on it, it’s for the best. I don’t think there’s another place where I could have done what I’ve done here, with the people that are around me, the coaches, my teammates, the fans, the city, the whole story of how everything has been going so far, I would pay for this if I could, to have this whole thing happen again. It’s a perfect story.”
