Sixteen WRs were taken before St. Brown in 2021 and he&#8217;ll be the first to let you know. He can recite in order, all 16 players who were taken before him. That&#8217;s the type of competitor St. Brown is and that put a chip on his shoulder as a rookie.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amon-Ra St. Brown has continued to develop in each of his first three seasons with the Lions. He&#8217;s continuously found ways to elevate the team and help take them to new heights. After a first-team All-Pro campaign in 2023, St. Brown has been paid accordingly this offseason. Per NFL insiders, the 24-year-old has received a four-year, $120 million extension with Detroit. Additionally, he&#8217;s guaranteed $77 million of that deal. One hell of a payday for the 112th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<h2>Wide receiver contracts in the NFL continue to grow each offseason and Amon-Ra St. Brown is the latest beneficiary<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sources: The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Lions?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Lions<\/a> have a deal for one of the top young talents, agreeing on an extension for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.

However, St. Brown has passed Cooper Kupp&#8217;s $75 million guaranteed by the Rams. Detroit&#8217;s All-Pro WR is getting $77 million guaranteed at signing. A huge upgrade from his four-year, $4 million deal he got as a rookie coming out of the 4th round. Now, St. Brown is one of the premier WRs in the NFL who is a problem for his opponents every Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old&#8217;s 2023 campaign was his most productive since joining the league in 2021. St. Brown&#8217;s 119 catches, 1,515 yards, and 10 touchdowns were all career highs.\u00a0 Additionally, St. Brown was a Pro Bowl selection for the second straight year and also received first-team All-Pro honors for the first time in the NFL. With consecutive 100+ receptions and 1,000+ receiving yard seasons, there&#8217;s no denying that the talented WR is one of the best in the league.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Amon-Ra St. Brown is staying in Detroit <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/72x72\/1f981.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd81\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(via @amonra_stbrown\/IG) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ggS4p3DAsc\">pic.twitter.com\/ggS4p3DAsc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 NFL (@NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL\/status\/1783164579603689716?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 24, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nLions general manager Brad Holmes has done an excellent job of drafting since he took over in 2021. Detroit has a ton of young talent highlighted by WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. In the 2023 Draft, the Lions added two more legitimate playmakers on offense. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs and TE Sam LaPorta both made major impacts offensively in their rookie seasons. There&#8217;s no denying that the Lions are going to be one of the top teams in the NFC next season.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/lions-amon-ra-st-brown-is-now-the-nfls-highest-paid-wr-after-a-massive-four-year-extension\/\">Lions\u2019 Amon-Ra St. Brown is now the NFL\u2019s highest-paid WR after a massive four-year extension<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the 2021 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions used a 4th round pick to draft WR Amon-Ra St. Brown.
