Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Detroit Lions’ wide receiver, has a pretty interesting connection with their new passing game coordinator, David Shaw. It turns out that Shaw actually recruited St. Brown and his brother Equanimeous out of high school to play for Stanford. Although St. Brown ended up choosing USC, his brother Osiris did play for Stanford under Shaw from 2018 to 2020.
St. Brown has spoken highly of Shaw, describing him as “a great guy, honest”. He’s also mentioned that he attended camps at Stanford and got to know Shaw on a personal level, which is pretty cool. With Shaw now joining the Lions’ coaching staff, it’ll be interesting to see how their prior relationship impacts St. Brown’s performance on the field.
