Reason for Amon-Ra St. Brown's Blue Hair Revealed by Lions Wide Receiver

Amon-Ra St. Brown leads Detroit Lions to first playoffs since 2016, set to face Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His hair dye goes viral.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has been absolutely outstanding for the Detroit Lions this season. His exceptional play has been instrumental in propelling the team to the divisional round of the playoffs, where they are set to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday.

The Lions finished the regular season with an impressive 12-5 record, securing the NFC North title and clinching a spot in the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.

For St. Brown, this marks a significant milestone as he is set to make his postseason debut since being drafted by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. In honor of the occasion, he dyed his hair blue, a symbolic gesture representing the Lions franchise. His actions even inspired a dedicated Detroit fan in hospice care, Larry Benjamin, to dye his hair blue as well.

St. Brown took to social media to acknowledge Benjamin's efforts and sent the fan a signed jersey as a token of appreciation.

The wideout has had an exceptional season, racking up an impressive 1,515 yards on 119 receptions and catching 10 touchdowns in 16 regular season games. His outstanding performance earned him a First-Team All-Pro selection.

St. Brown has continued his stellar run in the postseason, amassing 110 yards on seven receptions to help the Lions secure a narrow 24-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round.

As the Lions prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Brown's partnership with quarterback Jared Goff will be crucial. The duo will play a pivotal role in Detroit's efforts to overcome Todd Bowles' NFC South champions, who emerged victorious against the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round. With St. Brown's exceptional talent and Goff's leadership, the Lions are poised to put up a strong fight against the Buccaneers.
