Detroit’s star Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to make headlines with major off season moves, first re-signing with the Lions for a 4 year $120M extension and now starring in the NFL's new Netflix series "Receiver", following the highly popular Quarterback series last year, the show is expected to be a summer hit.
Ryan, Channing and Fred sat down with 2x Pro Bowler Amon-Ra St. Brown to talk about his upbringing in a strict but motivating household, the recent surge from the Detroit Lions and how he’s utilized the chip on his shoulder from falling in the 2021 draft to becoming one of the highest paid wide receivers in the league.
Amon-Ra shares his family history and mindset developed from a young age, always working harder and playing with a chip on his shoulder after dropping to late rounds in the NFL Draft to naming all 16 wide outs who's name was called before his using it as motivation to not allow someone's name to be called before his when it counted. Ryan talks about watching him during 7 on 7 as a high schooler and was blown away not just with his talent but his grit.
Amon prides himself in being more of a "I can show you better than I can tell you" player as he's had a pivotal role on transforming the Lions from a 3-13 team his rookie year to playing in the NFC Championship this past season and credits the leadership of head coach Dan Campbell and tight knit locker room for Detroit's fast turn around. Falling one game short of the Super Bowl left a sting in the team's core and this offseason has been focused on starting with that same momentum heading into training camp with a roster full of talent, St. Brown knows they are a serious contender, now taken seriously in the league and have a target on their back heading into 2024 season despite still being considered the NFL's underdogs.
St. Brown reflects on the foundations that shaped him from his unique family dynamic having a bodybuilder father, the former Mr. World, who trained him and his two brothers (one of whom also plays in the NFL), and a multilingual mother who exposed the family to diverse cultures around the globe with emphasizing education and experience. Developing a 1% mentality of always being better and outworking the next, whether it was catching 202 passes off the jugs machine daily or lifting weights with his siblings, Amon-Ra spent his life crafting his passion for football and credits his close-knit family for instilling that work ethic and determination that has now defined his NFL rise as a talented, gritty wide receiver, vying for that top spot.
And with the release of NFL's Netflix Series "Receiver", St. Brown's stardom will continue to grow far beyond the gridiron into a household name as his story on and off the field unfolds from a young boy from Compton to now one of the highest paid Wide Receivers in the league. "Receiver" premieres on Netflix July 10th showcasing an unprecedented window into the toughest job in sports featuring St. Brown alongside NFL stars Devante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle and Deebo Samuel.

Truly appreciate how the Pivot allows the guest to speak authentically.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Amon Ra is the definition of momba mentality.
RIP Kobe
Mamba**
@@dsmooth7178 Mambo number 5***
Yea except he’s actually just doing the stuff to get better and it’s not just branding for legacy or sales
no he isn't. St. Brown is his own vibe. Kobe was his own vibe. they are not the same
YES!! Damn I never thought of it that way but yea I can see it. For sure. That’s good.
The lack of diva mentality is going to be a major contributing factor to his longevity. So glad he’s a Lion.
Because hes a workhorse like cooper kupp. These guys mean business and dont care about the drama
@@de5913 had the same thought
@@de5913 no, Cooper doesn't work as hard as The Sun God. But to be fair... No NFL wide receiver even comes close ... He's the Larry Bird of the NFL.
@@kenbutton6706 you’re just yapping
Exactly why the Lions gave him his bag. No diva in sight with this dude.
the power of a good dad who truly wants the best for their kid is a beautiful thing to witness
Very Special young man. Like the way he regarded his parents.
An example of a strong home. All parents should strive to be as good as Mom and Pop St Brown.
At @11:47 when he says "I don't know if dudes were faking injuries at the end of the season..." He KNEW dudes were faking injuries. And for him to watch people give up and use that opportunity to work harder and shine brighter is exactly why this man is an All Pro with a sick contract. Keep going Sun God💪
Yeah man that comment stuck out to me to. You wouldn't make that statement if it wasn't happening, right?
Bet it was Kenny Galloday
Definitely Kenny Galloday, it was his contract year that year. He wanted a big contract so he sat out to prove a point and it backfired.
First class episode by everyone!
@thahank3000 Galloday was not on the team, he was already in New York. The guys I would say were Swift, Hockinson, and Okuda. The Lions let those guy go for a song. Brad had no interest in keeping those guys around.
Amon Ra is a calculated man. I like how he operates. He sets a good example of how to condone yourself being a young rising star in this league. Any league. This is one of the men u want in ur locker room.
After his playing career I can see him being a international ambassador for the league office.
This is the mindset and mentality that BA needs. seems like the browns raised them boys right.
Right, everything is measured and calculated
That’s what happens when you have great parents .
To all the youngsters watching, this is the guy to follow!!
Love how he starts roasting Channing for his fit then they just cut to the next question 😂
Bro got serious for a second 😭😭
us Cali folks know how to roast!!
@@94feetwithcoachjt40lol because he roasted his clothes? Ppl all over do that
@@Irishpride13 it was about to get out of hand and change the whole direction of the interview 😭
What's the timestamp when it happens?
Him interviewing in a beater says it all!!! BALLER
He's from Cali Team Kendrick lol
I love how their dad just changed their last name because he wanted to 😂
straight G
His dad is my favorite on the receiver series
Dude is way wiser beyond his years bruh
Amon Ra has that underdog mindset that fits the Lions and the city of Detroit. Now we know why he was drafted by the Lions.
Fax St Brown is a workhorse
John Brown is exactly what all dad’s that want their son to be professional athletes should try for. He pushed them extremely hard but never made them wonder if he loved them. He constantly gave them love and appreciation, but he pushed them to their limit.
Dude is like a modern day Steve Smith.
good call
Or Chris Carter
Physically, but mentally a lot smarter. Moms and Pops didn't just train them for strength.
valid
You right but Steve Smith being old school…damn I am getting old😂
As a die hard fan of all Detroit sports, ASB is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite athletes. Not just because of what he does on the field, but who he is as a person and what he represents. Love this interview.
This is what I am athlete was supposed to be bruh
Facts 💯💯💯
They got the bag and fumbled it.
WHO?
They took off with that nascar bag and never looked back lmao
💯🎯
John Brown was 2 time Mr. Universe in bodybuilding in the 1980's.
His dad was a legendary bodybuilder. Well known and respected in the BB community/. No surprise he raised stud sons
This is an absolutely INCREDIBLE interview and talk with this man. Ryan Clark MIGHT BE the best interviewer EVER. He’s on his way, cause my man is insanely good at interviewing people.
St Brown is the most Detroit player there is. He’s got that Ben Wallace going to work style. 🐐
Finally!!! A Detroit Lion on the pod
Lions Pride!! ❤❤
They did Megatron and goff I think Barry as well
@@Baalzz302you think we have a chance to make it to the SB??🤔🤔
@KayAintPressed without a doubt we do .. we got better in the problem that we had db room added help for McNeil and jameson having a entire summer to work with goff .. plus we didn't lose any coaches of note
They had Goff and Calvin
22:18 He is always ready for competition. He told Channing Quick "Ill route your A up"...love it
Dude Channing clowning on Amon Ra not being “fun” is all time comedy. But for real, what Amon Ra don’t know yet you don’t have to be fun at this point in his life. That’s what age 35-85 is for when he’s sitting on his 200 mil. Be all about business right now young man.
And be proud that you’re all about business.
That’s a fact
Difference between hof and average mentality
But he really is fun, y'all see him dancing? He was clowning at the PRO football game. He has a great, fun personality and killer work ethic. A true Detroiter 💙💪🏾💯
What type of fun is being had with a bad back and arthritis at 85 ifnu even make it to that age?
I love his mindset. This dude is Lazer focused. He's the type of guy who would be successful in anything that he does.
I love how he explains as he matured his perception on why other's went before him aren't as good as him. He doesn't have that vindictive anger, I think it was replaced by matured wisdom. He constantly reminds himself hey you were a 4th rounder. It reminded me of when I began building my wife and my business, I would use everything as a reason to get pissed and prove people wrong. Now my maturity has allowed me to keep moving forward however never forget today is your last day and you could go back to work for someone that scares the shit out of me hell no even now as I write this I'm fired up about it. Great interview.
Amon-Ra, the blue hair was absolutely awesome and you only continued to turn yourself into a Detroit sports legend with it
I’m Mater Dei Football’s DJ and everytime I go up to the campus is wild to see all the players that make it to the next level, he definitely will be an inspiration to the future generations. Especially at a school where greatness is expected
Like who? Out of them all he’s literally the only one in years that’s really made a name for himself in the league same with Bosco other than mcduffie they’re ain’t much coming outta the trinity league at all ..
@@madmaxxcrosbyhell yea. The socal pro players carried their local schools. Keep an eye on Brady Edmunds sophomore at Huntington Beach with 25 d1 offers. Kids the truth. People that talented dont need bosco or mater dei to get noticed.
@@madmaxxcrosbyif I’m not mistaken Bryce Young went there. But the expectations at least at a high school level is greatness. They’re always among the top high school programs nationally
@@madmaxxcrosby the next level from high school is college bozo… go ahead n look up how many kids they sent on full rides, across all sports
@@Mikel_Trujillo 95% of them are wash outs that peak in high school shit don’t really matter.. the entire hold back generation is fucking kids up .. I’m sick and tired of MD and Bosco hogging all the major talent in so cal… i miss the diversity of all the other older big time programs in the area absolutely fucking balling and never really knowing who was gonna come away with the chips at the end of the year shit ain’t the same and it has to change
I have followed ARSB career for years now and he's the most intense, competitive guy I have ever seen. Love him!
I cant admire enough how well these kids were parented. Such well rounded individuals. Detroit is lucky to have Amon Ra. It’s a great time to be a Lions fan. 🦁 This is the year 💙
As a Detroiter I totally agree!
I asked for this interview last week, and the Pivot delivered 💯
Amon Ra shows what dedication and hard work can get you. It is a testament to the hard work his parents put into raising 3 boys. Successful parents do not always guarantee successful children, and especially to have all 3 be successful in their own way. It is great that he has such a good and working relationship with his brothers. He mentioned that he liked to dabble in real estate and that his brother was getting his realtors license.
He is such a professional in everything he does. I am glad he was still available in the 4th round, because that means he is a Lion today. And hopefully for a long time going forward. Go Lions! One Pride!👍🏻🦁
I'm from Detroit, been here since the Barry Sander days. Amon Ra is Detroit's son god. I have never seen this much excitement from Detroit Lions fans ever. And it's finally nice to get recognized around the country or around the world if you will. This is the best team we've ever had and Coach wise too. LET'S GO LIONS!!
SUN god
Gotta give Freddy T his flowers!!!! He adds what he adds to this group and is part of what makes it great! My guy even keeled all the time👌🏽
he like the uncle i never had
Detroit Vs Everybody
All day everyday Detroit all the way Go Lions ✌️
Whaddupdoe?!
Die Hard Lions Fan since birth… Man this interview gave me even more respect and love for the Sun God 🙌🏾
Humble asf love that
The impact of a dad, especially black fathers in their kids lives is unmeasurable! Kids pray for a dad like that, i know i did so i make sure every day to be the father to my kids that i didnt have
I love everything about Amon-Ra and as a life long Lions fan I feel blessed to have him on our team. Thank You The pivot for interviewing him.🙏🦁
Most Lions fan would tell you that it was going to take some very special people to turn that laughingstock of a franchise around as no organization in sports has been more cursed than the Detroit Lions...........Amon Ra is one of those special people
Amon Ra For MVP Great interview perfect timing
Amon RA father definitely did a great job as you see the good man Amon RA is and how he conducts himself. This is the type of man you should strive to be💯
The way they cut to the next question right when he was about to fry Channing, I just know he got cooked in the most diabolical way that couldn't be aired 🤣🤣
Man I was hoping I wasn’t the only one peeped that 😂
Bro they all started going in on him he had a weak ass comeback 🤣🤣🤣
The next interviewer ask him what did he say🤣🤣🤣
"that outfit is some bullshit" LOL
I think they both ain't vibing with each other
Man when you gotta kid this young that truly understands the evenflo and/or the spiritual aspect of the NFL (or sports in general) you got somethin special. A keeper. The Detroit brass obviously understands this by his contract. Word up. Special talent
I appreciate St now, but y’all be killing me saying Detroit is in the middle of nowhere but y’all want to go play for Green Bay in the middle of effing nowhere, y’all math not mathing.
But Green Bay is a perennial playoff team, Detroit has not been. If I gotta play in the middle of nowhere can I least be competive lol
U feel me we definitely it in the middle of nowhere like Green Bay is honestly
Detroit is not in the middle of nowhere tho. It’s a major metropolitan area.
FYI. I'm a 53 year old black female and love this podcast. So good to see examples of black excellence, especially our black men. From the young to more seasoned, it's just beautiful. Good to see focus on character, not just money and fame. KUDOS! Keep it going fellas. Channing is HALARIOUS😂😂😂🥰
Bro is David Goggins as a WR
There's a reason why he's in Detroit. Detroit GRIT!!!!!!
Lions are extremely lucky to have this dude. #14 puts out 100% every play
My guy !!! Been watching him since he was at Mater Dei in 9th grade ! I been saying he would be great. ✌🏽
St. Brown is a real one! All work, and no flash. I love that he didn't mention Dez in his "build a receiver" bit. 😆 Moss, Megatron, Ochocinco, Fitz, & Ward. That's a tough competitor!
Easy to see why the Lions are so good now as their GM Brad Holmes has drafted a ton of guys (Hutchison, Sewell, Branch, etc...) who seem to be exactly like Amon Ra, highly competitive, very smart players who are even better people off the field.
Great podcast as always. I'm proud of you Amon-Ra.
This was good!!! Good to see St get the love he deserves can’t wait see bro this season go off!!
I Couldn't be prouder having this leader who leads by example as our Backbone in Detroit
As a Lions fan, 58 will always be the face of the turnaround to me. But man, the sun god has a huge hand in it too. Talk about grit, those 2 are the epitome.
SO GLAD that St Brown is getting the recognition he deserves. and SO glad he's a Lion
When RC asked if he has friends , are you likeable , I bust out laughing , cause I was thinking the same sh*t , buddy seem super uptight
St Brown the man, humble, and is a great podcaster 🙏🏽✊🏽
I loved how Amon-Ra St. Brown said, “I can’t listen to you.. you’re going to F up my whole rhythm.” 😆 Amon-Ra St. Brown is Honolulu Blue FTW 🙌! Go Detroit Lions 🦁!
22.18 - he was dead ass serious
“When we make the playoffs I go blue.” When we. Not if we. Love this confidence, love this player. Go lions.
I’m telling you I’ve watched ALLLL the Amon Ra St Brown interviews. This right here, is THE BEST thing ever!! This thing is so good. I know everything about Amon Ra because I’m a Lions fan and bla bla but the way these dudes do this thing is so good!!!
“No water, drink your spit.” Is diabolical.
Fantastic interview! As a Lion fan for 50 yrs and living a life of disappointment and futility as a fan, Amon-Ra is everything that you want your team to embody. He is built different. He is GRIT. LFG LIONS!
Im from Detroit went thru the jokes from other teams fans we got respect on ur name when Lions come up... Megatron is my #1 WR of All time #14 is my next love Detroit love Amon Ra St Brown the 'Sun God' dnt yall 4get it
Amon Ra is the Larry Bird of NFL
Can y’all allow Channing to be the Channing he use to be? That’s when the pivot was GOLDEN
He was funny but sometimes he was a little too much.
You can only play like Channing does with some guests. Not everybody is going to be on his type of timing.
It’s still golden!
@@1hendrixx7Channing is very old school
He just say what’s on his mind id respect him less if he wasn’t himself
Nah you gotta know your interviewee too. Not everybody plays around. I think Channing just read the room with Amon Ra and realized and can’t do all that playing unnecessary stuff with him
In retrospect I know he didn’t want to come to Detroit. But Detroit was perfect for Amon-Ra. A place where he can be #1 and prove it. It’s a place of hard work and he has that mentality. Next stop Super Bowl win! Let’s go!
went to high school with him when i was a freshman and I have a distinct memory of walking past him and contemplating asking for an autograph cause I knew he'd go far. I ended up not asking and to this day I wish I did. Dudes a baller and seeing him play in HS to US and now a top 5 reciever in the NFL is badass. Proud of you Amon
His father should write a book. I like Amon-Ra he got "IT".
Let's go DETROIT LIONS 🔥🏈💪🏾
Win loose or draw . Lions fan forever . And the sun god is exactly what he is .Detroit loves you.
I am from Detroit…I had no idea who this young man is! Very informative. All credit to the parents! Beautiful!
Amon Ra, I love how his father took exception to naming his sons. A name is the first window to learning about who a person is. Whether its on paper or spoken, it’s a vital component to building a persons identity. This young man’s work ethic, attention to detail and professionalism were learned and harnessed by the two most important people in his life, (Mom & Dad). I truly love to hear all the praise he gives to the both of them. Amon Ra is the true definition of what comes from dedicating yourself to working hard. As a father of a young son, I can’t wait to use this young man’s shining example for my son’s development. Another awesome conversation!!!! All thanks and praise to the Pivot Team for keeping the main thing the main thing!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤
The production on the intro is AMAZING NOW 😭
We’ve had some phenomenal players in Detroit.
In my opinion, we’ve only had one that was a straight, DAWG, with the mentality that winning is everything, at all cost. That’s Isaiah Thomas, but now the D has two! Amon-Ra St.Brown shares that mindset.
Can't forget about the Edmonds when you talkin football siblings, Tremaine, Terrell, Trey
I want to work out after watching this interview. I need more people with this mentality in my life. 🎉
Lions are a serious contender their only problem last year was Cam Sutton not being able to play his position
Been following this young man since Mater Dei. He deserves everything positive, bless him!!!!
I swear to Got I knew Channing was going to say Eek Liba Deek before he said it!!! Once he said he speaks German I just knew Channing was going to say it!!! I been watching them since the other show & I remember when he said it on the other show. I bust out laughing when he said it. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
My boy gon shatter all the records this year watch
You guys are great, thank all of you individually also (for getting to witness your careers as well as so many others that make the sport what it is today & 🐐 TB12 ). Now to Mr. Amon-ra St. Brown, thank you sir, As a lifelong Detroit-er since 1979 (birth) I have witnessed the darkness of being a lion's fan. What you, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Holmes & Everyone else on our beloved team have done thus far is truly remarkable, we are proud of you all, we appreciate your efforts & we believe 💙 if there's a team to win Detroit a superbowl- it's you guys! Congratulations & many blessings ahead. Thank you Amon-Ra for being you & Pivot podcast for showcasing what a gifted young leader we have here in Detroit! & Amon-Ra 1 more thing..... go get that ring!
so true!!
Watch ARSB and the Lions love to put ball in his hands in the biggest spots in game and I swear he's stepped nearly every single time when this has happened.
The banter between Channing and Amon-Ra was hilarious. 😂
Omg, when he mentioned the whistle, lol My husband has instilled into our boys. You hear that whistle something needs to be changed. I was the loudest mom in the crowd telling him how to run, but my husband literally walked around the whole field home and visitors side watching and silently coaching. Our 15 yr old, Beast ❤
SUN GOD💪🏾💪🏾 WE R TAKING THAT SUPERBOWL NEXT YEAR 🦁 WHAT UP DOE
great podcast! St Brown that dude!
Reppin’ SoCal ball!
This was a great interview!
I like Amon-Ra St. Brown...
Mane yall so funny bruh said Turn -Up Get Lit 😂😂😂
This is funny!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
Amon Ra is a dawg!!!!🫡🙏🏾💪🏾
I hope the Lions play a game in Germany. Amon-ra would be a great ambassador for the game there
St Brown is the Mfing truth!
Dude stays getting open
I'm in San Antonio Texas now but, I was born in Detroit in 57. Came to Texas when I was 53. Been a Lions fan since they drafted Billy Sims in 79! Love Amon Ra, DC, the whole team is awesome!! SUPERBOWL BABY!! 😃
One of my favorite players to watch. Pops is from my City. Love this episode
i love watching these podcasts. Half of the people I have no idea who they are until I watch the interviews. I saw Rich Paul yesterday - had no idea until I watched the podcast.
Very structured you man who was shown structure and discipline through a loving mother and father. No wonder him and his siblings have had the success they’re having. Love to see it!
That mike tyson joint was wild 😂😂😂😂
We are so blessed to have this kind of access to the players we follow and teams we love. Ryan, Fred and Channing, you guys are amazing - truly great sports journalism here, no BS, all real talk, and most importantly all the right questions! I just gotta say, we Lions fans are incredibly fortunate to have this A+++ dude running routes every Sunday. Just getting started, cannot WAIT to see where they go next. 🔥🔥🔥
