Amon-Ra St. Brown is feeling the pride ahead of the Detroit Lions playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Lions' leading receiver decided to dye his hair Honolulu Blue ahead of the first playoff trip of his three-year NFL career.

St. Brown was one of the biggest factors in the Lions' 12-5 season, which resulted in the first playoff appearance in seven years and the first division title in three decades. As one of the cornerstones of the franchise's rebuild since 2021, St. Brown has been one of the most prolific and consistent receivers in the league.

He finished the season with the third-most receptions by a player through the first three years of his career (315). He built off his strong first two seasons where he led the team in receiving with a career year in 2023-24 as Jared Goff's top target.

St. Brown had 119 catches (tied for second in NFL) for 1,515 yards (third in NFL) and 10 touchdowns, tied for fourth-most in the NFL with Minnesota's Jordan Addison and teammate Sam LaPorta. Despite sitting near the top of the league in every major receiving category, St. Brown did not make the Pro Bowl, which he said he will use as additional motivation for the playoffs.
