Detroit Lions freshman wide receiver Amon-Ra St Brown did not generate much hype coming into the league. However, the former USC Trojan turned things around after a memorable NFL season. Consequently, St. Brown is optimistic going into his second season and doesn’t worry about the outside noise. St Brown said [https://www.espn.com/blog/detroit-lions/post/_/id/38355/you-dont-really-know-what-to-expect-lions-wr-amon-ra-st-brown-details-his-first-season-in-detroit] to ESPN, “I don’t really have anything to say about the people who may feel like my rookie season was a fluke. All I can do is try to prove them wrong. For me, I’m not really worried about other people. I’m worried about myself, the team and what I know I can do.” Obviously, when the Lions drafted him, people didn’t have many expectations from him. Nevertheless, his amazing performance turned the tide in his favor. While some people doubt the rookie, others are looking forward to what he has to offer in the following season. AMON-RA ST BROWN IS OFF TO A GREAT START IN THE NFL The Detroit Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] drafted St Brown [https://www.espn.in/nfl/player/bio/_/id/4374302/amon-ra-st-brown] in the fourth round, as a 112 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. During this season, St Brown grabbed 90-of-119 [https://www.espn.in/nfl/player/stats/_/id/4374302/amon-ra-st-brown] passes for 912 yards and five touchdowns. Completely Unnoticed? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-did-evan-mcpherson-have-the-greatest-rookie-season-of-all-time-and-go-completely-unnoticed/] After a slow start, the Lions remained winless through the first half of the season. Likewise, St Brown’s start was very similar. However, he turned over a new leaf and it showed in his game-winning performance against the Minnesota Vikings [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/minnesota-vikings/]. WIN OVER THE VIKINGS MARKS A NEW START St Brown netted ten receptions for 86 yards [https://www.espn.in/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401326513] and scored the game-winning touchdown. As a result, The Lions’ first win came in Week 13 after a 29-27 [https://www.espn.in/nfl/game/_/gameId/401326513] victory over the Vikings. After that, the rookie didn’t look back and tallied 100-yard games for two consecutive games in Week 17 [https://www.espn.in/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401326582] and Week 18 [https://www.espn.in/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401326589]. Furthermore, he also scored a touchdown in each of his final four games of the season. Therefore, he has clearly stood out as one of the biggest steals of the draft. St Brown has signed a four-year [https://www.si.com/nfl/lions/news/contract-status-of-lions-receivers-in-2022#:~:text=Amon%2DRa%20St.,-Brown&text=St.%20Brown%2C%20Detroit's%20emerging%20star,%24588%2C945%20remaining%20in%20guaranteed%20salary.] rookie contract with the Lions. Hence, it will be fascinating to see how he contributes to the Lions’ success in the future.

Lions rookie quarterback, Amon-Ra St Brown is optimistic going into the next
season and is not concerned about what the doubters have to say.

<p style="text-align: center">The club was originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, and enlisted in the NFL in 1930 going by the Portsmouth Spartans banner. 4 years later, in 1934, the team relocated to Detroit citing financial struggles. Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city’s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The very next year, they enjoyed tremendous success as they went on to win 4 championship games between 1935 to 1957. However, their success hasn’t seen the same peak since then, as they have only won a single playoff game in 1992.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, they are the oldest NFL franchise to never appear in the Super Bowl. They also go down as the only team from the NFC to not appear for the same. This has long since been a talking point surrounding the franchise, considering their tenure in the league.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483986 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wire.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">Heading through to Week 14 of the 2020 season, the Detroit Lions have accrued a record of 5-8 and are placed 4th in the NFC North. However, this is an improvement from their previous season record that topped out at 3-12-1. Moreover, the principal owner Martha Firestone Ford stepped down and passed on the ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp on June 23rd, 2020.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The classic blue prancing Lion logo was brought into the fold from the 1961 season but wouldn’t be made the primary logo till 1970. The logo has seen minor reiterations, chiefly stemming from a stylistic change to the outline. The Honolulu blue outline was swapped for a black outline after 2002, and it ran until 2008.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483982 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/def.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">The present logo of the Detroit Lions has been active since February 1st, 2017, and underwent a minor tweak from the previous design that ran from 2009 to 2016. Chiefly, the difference was the change in the color of the outline, which went from black to metallic silver.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Sheila Ford Hamp is a descendant of both Ford and Firestone family fortunes, and she became the principal owner in June 2020 when her mother Martha Firestone Ford stepped down. Prior to her role as the principal owner and chairperson, Sheila Hamp served as the vice chairperson of the Detroit Lions since 2014.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, she serves on the NFL’s Super Bowl and Major Events committee alongside many key figures in the league. Following a 4-7 start to the 2020 season under her ownership, Sheila would fire General Manager Bob Quinn and Head Coach Matt Patricia.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">A marquee sponsor out of Detroit came in the form of Quick Lane Tire and auto center, which provides routine service and up-keep maintenance for its customers. Additionally, they have had successful tie-ups with Quicken Loans as well as Windsor Family Credit Union. Additionally, the Detroit Lions have also partnered up with Coppercraft Distillery and they offered branded products at 6 bar locations within the parameters of Ford Field.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">BetMGM has also joined up with the Lions and will be the first official sports betting partner for the franchise. Not to mention, the Detroit Lions have a partnership with Humanetics who serve as the presenting sponsor for the club.
