The Detroit Lions are hoping for a bounce back season after missing out on the playoffs last year. Amon-Ra St. Brown will play a big role in the offense once again, as one of the NFL’s best wide receivers. Leading up to Week 1, New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore gave St. Brown some major props.

While talking with media members on Tuesday, Moore acknowledged that the 26-year-old wide receiver is one of the elite players in the league. The Saints’ coach and play caller listed all of the traits that make St. Brown so good at football.

“I’d say [St. Brown] is one of the premiere receivers in our league,” Moore said. “He obviously plays a lot of the time out of the slot, but he can play all over the field. His versatility, his route detail, his ability to catch the football on contested situations, his run blocking is as good as anyone in this league. I think a lot of receivers in our league can learn from him. A lot of players can learn from him. So, he’ll be a fun test.”

Amon-Ra St. Brown has eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in four consecutive seasons. He finished the 2025-26 campaign with 117 receptions for 1,401 yards, and 11 touchdowns. The four-time Pro Bowler was named a Second-Team All-Pro for the first time in his career after being named a First-Team All-Pro the previous two seasons.

The former fourth-round pick is expected to have another big year as he plays his sixth season in the league. He’ll have a chance to set the pace in Week 1 when the Lions take on the Saints on Sunday, September 13 at 1 p.m. EST.
