"Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown Discusses Matchup Against Caleb Williams

Former USC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, recently signed to a record-breaking contract with the Detroit Lions, reflected on the possibility of facing Caleb Williams, the expected first pick of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. "I'm not going to like him when we're playing the Bears," St. Brown admitted in an interview with Scott Thompson of Fox News Digital, although he quickly added, "But, other than that, I'm a fan."

The Lions, fresh off an NFC Championship Game appearance, are seen as strong Super Bowl contenders. In contrast, the Bears are undergoing a significant overhaul, highlighted by their trade of quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, paving the way for Williams' arrival. St. Brown expressed no hard feelings about Williams joining a division rival. "No bitterness in it, man," he said, "All sweet."

Despite some concerns about Williams' personality and play which led some analysts, coaches, and scouts to favor LSU's Jayden Daniels as the top draft pick, St. Brown seemed supportive of Williams. "He's an awesome dude," he noted, praising Williams' character and upbringing. "Great guy, great family. His parents did an amazing job. So, I'm excited for him no matter where he goes, even if it's the Chicago Bears."

DraftKings Sportsbook has Williams as the favorite to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award with odds of +250. St. Brown expressed high expectations for Williams, "I love his game," he remarked. "He's really talented. He's a special quarterback. I feel like he's able to do things on the field a lot of players wish they could do at such a young age. So, I can't wait to see him throw in this league and become the player he really wants to become. Playing against him is not gonna be fun, but after the game, before the game, we'll be cool."
