Amon-Ra St. Brown Declares He’s ‘Motivated as Ever’ for Lions’ 2026 Push

His stance points to a healthy offseason under a new play-caller.

Overview

  • St. Brown, speaking to ESPN over the weekend, said he is “motivated as ever” after Detroit’s 9-8 finish and playoff miss in 2025.
  • He noted he lacked a true offseason last year while rehabbing knee surgery and said he is training at full speed now.
  • He posted 117 catches, 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, marking his fourth straight season with at least 100 receptions.
  • Detroit’s spring work ramps up with OTAs on May 27–29 and a mandatory minicamp on June 16–17.
  • The Lions changed course by hiring offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and trading RB David Montgomery to Houston for OL Juice Scruggs and draft picks, and St. Brown said the team’s core remains intact and capable of contending if it executes.
