Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. did not participate. Brown is in the 2024 Pro Bowl, and he's angry about it.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown did not make it to the 2024 primary Pro Bowl menu, and he was clearly not happy about it.
“I got hot,” St. Brown told reporters Thursday.
The Lions receiver made the Pro Bowl last year but was a late addition. He's poised to be a late addition again this year, finishing as the top backup in the NFC this year.
The four NFC receivers who made the Pro Bowl roster before the St. Louis Cardinals. Brown was CeeDee Lamb of the Cowboys, AJ Brown of the Eagles, Pirates Mike Evans and Pukka Nakoa from the Rams. St. Brown gave credit to all four players but clearly believes he belongs in the group that heads to Orlando the week before the game. power.
St. Brown certainly has a case. Here's a look at his statistical production compared to the other four (ranked by receiving yards):
Carrying: 122 catches, 1,651 yards, 10 TDs
Brown: 105 catches, 1,447 yards, 7 TDs
Nakoa: 101 catches, 1,445 yards, 5 TDs
St. Brown: 112 catches, 1,371 yards, 9 TDs
Evans: 76 catches, 1,233 yards, 13 TDs
St. Brown also has a higher PFF grade (90.0) than Nacua (88.2) and Evans (83.4), right up there with Brown (90.2) and Lamb (90.7).
It should come as no surprise that St. Brown plans to use that snub as fuel as the team prepares to make a playoff run.
“I think I didn't do enough during the season, so I have to try harder,” St. Brown said.
While St. Brown did not make the Pro Bowl, five of his teammates did: tight end Sam LaPorta, center Frank Ragnow, right tackle Penei Sewell, fullback Aidan Hutchinson, and special teamer Jalen Reeves-Maybin.
