BREAKING NEWS: Detroit Lions Star Amon-Ra St. Brown Has Done It Again, Making Major Announcement, Head Coach Dan Campbell Reacts Shock…..see more
Just days after inking a historic contract extension that solidifies his place as one of the league’s top receivers, St. Brown took to social media this morning with a heartfelt video and press release announcing the launch of the “St. Brown Foundation,” a nonprofit dedicated to supporting youth athletic programs and education access in underserved communities across Detroit and Southern California.
But that wasn’t all.
In the final seconds of the video, St. Brown dropped a bombshell: he’s also partnered with Nike to release a signature cleat and apparel line — the first for a Lions player in nearly two decades.
The announcement drew immediate reactions, none more eye-opening than that of Lions head coach Dan Campbell, who reportedly found out about the Nike partnership in real time during a press conference. Cameras captured the moment Campbell paused, shook his head, and with a wide grin said, “That dude never stops. He’s built different, man. I didn’t see that coming — but I should have.”
St. Brown, who led the NFC in receptions last season and was instrumental in the Lions’ playoff run, has quickly become the face of the franchise and a fan favorite not just for his on-field dominance, but his relentless work ethic and community involvement.
NFL insiders are calling this a “brand expansion masterclass,” and say it sets a new precedent for young players looking to extend their influence beyond the field.
More reactions are pouring in from around the league, and St. Brown is scheduled to hold a live Q&A tonight at 8 p.m. EST on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
