Is Amon-Ra St. Brown's relationship the secret behind his stellar performance on the field?

Last season, the Detroit Lions ended a 3-decade playoff route thanks to Dan Campbell, Jared Goff, and the whole squad. But another Super Star of Motor City’s football team is sizing up to show a whole lot of promise in the coming season. His name is Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was responsible for shaking the NFC North’s dynamics last year.

But success often begins with a happy life outside of one’s profession, and St. Brown’s personal life matters as much as his impact on the gridiron field. They say behind every successful man there’s a woman, but is this true for Amon-Ra St. Brown? Is there a significant other whom the Lions receiver confides in after a long day at practice?

Despite a massive extension with the Detroit Lions and all the fame, the Motor City wideout hasn’t found a significant other. If he has, there are no public records of him ever dating anyone. The California native keeps a low profile compared to the gossip about NFL WAGS, staying focused on the Detroit Lions.

Poll of the day

Do you think Amon-Ra St. Brown's relationship will impact his performance on the field?

Yes, positively

Yes, negatively

No, it won't

Not sure

Then again, he might have a girlfriend whom he hasn’t introduced to the world because not everyone seeks attention. Perhaps he’s solely focused on football, with love not being a top priority at 24. Credit to him, though—all that focus paid off in his best season yet, his third in the league.

Brown recorded 119 receptions over 1,515 yards and had 10 touchdowns, while also scoring one more touchdown in the NFC Divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January this year. Being a 112 overall pick in the 2021 draft, he now finds himself in the $30 million club along with Justin Jefferson. St. Brown scored a 4-year $120 million deal with the Lions, giving him $77 million in guarantees.

But despite a lack of love life, there’s more behind St. Brown’s blue hair and a playoff-worthy career. Did you know that his family is German-American and that he has a real brother who will play for the New Orleans Saints? If that wasn’t enough, did you also know that Amon-Ra is multilingual?

Let’s come to Brown’s German American family for a second. His mother Miriam Steyer is German and his father, that’s another story. The WR’s father, John Brown has been 2x Mr. Universe and one of those titles came in 1980. After nearly a decade of winning Mr. Universe, John Brown found himself at a fitness fair in Germany in 1989, where he met Amon-Ra’s mother.

When he was selected at USC, he surprised everyone by speaking not one, but three different languages. He addressed his mother in German and school coaches in English, but there was an unexpected twist in the conversation. Amon-Ra also speaks French! This skill comes from his time studying in France briefly, where he addressed his French friend upon choosing USC to advance further in his career.

Another random fact: Did you know that the Detroit Lions star wideout took the SAT in German and French? Mind blowing, isn’t it? On top of that he also has an older brother Equanimeous St. Brown, who was drafted by the Packers in 2018 NFL Draft as the 207 overall pick. Since then, he’s moved around a lot, played with the Chicago Bears, and now he’s with the New Orleans Saints.

Hence, having a girlfriend might have been the most superficial information about him, not compelling us to look beyond his love life. But here he is, three years after his NFL Draft, carving out a name for himself with the Detroit Lions, giving Motor City fans hope that their team has a shot at winning the Super Bowl in the future.
