3 Detroit Lions who deserve to make the Pro Bowl

1. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown

If St. Brown hadn’t missed one whole game and a big chunk of another due to an ankle injury (21 snaps), and taken off the field with a non-concussion head injury due to heightened league protocols in another game (10 snaps played), he would most definitely have over 100 catches already this season.

As it is the Lions’ second-year slot receiver has 89 receptions (sixth in the league) for 974 yards (10th in the league) and six touchdowns, surpassing his rookie season totals in the latter two categories (912 and five respectively).

Two catches in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers will put St. Brown past his catch total from last year. The 26 yards he needs to become the youngest receiver in Lions’ history to have a 1,000-yard season feels like a foregone conclusion on Saturday too.

There aren’t many NFC wide receivers more deserving of a Pro Bowl nod than St. Brown is. If he doesn’t make it he’ll be at or near the top of a lot of snubs lists, and if somehow only one Lion gets selected (Ragnow would be a definite snub) it should be the “Sun God.”
