Since entering the NFL in 2021, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has become a First-Team All-Pro member and a two-time Pro Bowler. In addition to those achievements, he entered the NFL record books after the Lions’ 2024 Week 16 victory over the Chicago Bears.
As the Lions’ official account on X/Twitter posted, St. Brown became the second player in league history to have multiple seasons with at least 100 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards, and ten touchdowns in his first four years.

The former USC standout achieved the feat in back-to-back seasons. Last year, the California native had 119 receptions for 1,515 yards and ten touchdowns in 16 games. As of Week 16 this year, St. Brown has 101 catches for 1,126 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a team, the Lions are still in contention for the NFC’s best record and the NFC North division title.
Meanwhile, Larry Fitzgerald is the only other NFL player to have done that feat. The long-time Arizona Cardinals wideout is a three-time All-Pro and 11-time Pro Bowl selectee. Fitzgerald led the league in receptions and receiving touchdowns twice. He’s also a member of the 2010s All-Decade Team.
