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 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.
