Who Are Lions Star WR Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Brothers, Equanimeous and Osiris? A Closer Look at the Family

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a certified star in the NFL and a huge part of the reason why the Detroit Lions are looked at as one of the Super Bowl contenders in the league.

Fresh off a 2024 season that saw him finish with 115 catches for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns and a Pro Bowl selection, St. Brown is one of the best receivers in the NFL and only getting better.

While many know St. Brown and his success, not nearly as many seem to know that he’s not the only talented one in his family. His father was a bodybuilder, and his brothers also play football as well.

Who Are Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Talented Brothers?

There are three St. Brown brothers, all of whom played Division I college football, with two making it to the NFL. While Amon-Ra has become well-known, his older brother, Equanimeous St. Brown, recently released by the San Francisco 49ers, was drafted by Green Bay in 2018 after three seasons at Notre Dame.

The middle St. Brown brother, Osiris, is two years older than Amon-Ra. A four-star recruit from the powerhouse Mater Dei High School, he played for Stanford from 2018 to 2020. However, unlike his brothers, Osiris did not pursue a career in the NFL.

Who Are St. Brown’s Parents?

The most impressive member of the St. Brown family might be the father, John Brown. A two-time Mr. Universe bodybuilding champion, John was regarded as one of the best in the business during his career.

It’s clear where the St. Brown brothers inherited their drive and work ethic. They’ve also benefited from having a father who understands how to maximize the potential of their bodies.

While their mother, Miriam, may not share the physical prowess of the rest of the family, she more than makes up for it with her intellect. Born in Germany, Miriam met John at a fitness trade show in Cologne.

Her native German roots are why the St. Brown children grew up learning and becoming fluent in the language. Miriam also prioritized education and the mastery of other languages, enrolling the boys at the Lycee International de Los Angeles, where they learned to speak French.

As impressive as the family is as a whole, Amon-Ra has a real chance to be the biggest star of the bunch with his potential just scratching the surface now. While he was selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, he carries that chip on his shoulder — knowing all of the players that went before him — and uses that as fuel to rise to the top.

Lions Players’ Fantasy Outlooks for Week 7

Here’s what PFSN’s Kyle Soppe wrote about the notable Lions players’ fantasy outlooks for the Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Jared Goff

Jared Goff is going to do what Jared Goff is going to do. It’s productive, but it’s not the most fantasy-friendly skill set.

Goff has completed north of 70% of his throws in five of six games and has multiple passing scores in three straight. He makes the right call on almost every snap, which is generally good for winning NFL games, but not great for us who live in the fantasy world.

The irony of a conservative QB (7.0 aDOT or less in every season with Detroit) leading a Dan Campbell team is not lost on me. It’s a yin-and-yang situation that works for this team.

There’s a chance he gets caught up in a shootout with Baker Mayfield this week, but what’s most likely is a low-possession game where Detroit’s offense is on the field for 35 minutes. That means a lot of the running backs and maybe another 200-2-0 type of line from Goff.

If that’s the case, he’s not worth starting in standard-sized leagues. The Bucs allow the sixth-most yards per deep completion this season, so if you told me that a single Goff bomb vaulted him from QB14 to QB9, I wouldn’t be shocked, but you’re playing him for the high floor and hoping that your skill position players do more of the heavy lifting.

Amon-Ra St. Brown

Amon-Ra St. Brown might have the highest floor of any receiver in the game today. He’s caught at least seven passes in five straight contests

He’s sacrificed a little depth of target for an increased share of the pie in this post-Ben Johnson era, and it looks good on him. What specifically has me enthralled and believing this could be fantasy’s WR1 the rest of the way is that he’s been targeted on 46.2% of his red zone routes, a significant spike from the 33% rate a season ago.

You never want to put the cart before the horse, but a third season with over 1,200 receiving yards and at least 10 TD receptions is a good bet, and that’ll put him easily in the first round of 2026 redrafts (yes, I have a few teams that are dead, and I’ve begun looking ahead, sue me).

Jahmyr Gibbs

Am I annoyed that Jahmyr Gibbs doesn’t have more than two targets in three straight games? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t, but that really is a first-world problem.

Gibbs has seized control of this backfield, carrying the ball at least 15 times in three of his past four games. While the target count has been down recently, his 92% catch rate helps mitigate those worries, and the elite efficiency is what gives him a realistic path to being the top-scoring running back in any given week.

Tampa Bay owns a top-10 run defense, but its strengths are up the middle, and Gibbs can make those field-flipping plays when ushered outside. I downgrade most backs when facing the Bucs; Gibbs isn’t “most backs.”

David Montgomery

Nope, I didn’t have “Lions trying to get David Montgomery a touchdown pass in consecutive weeks” on my Bingo card, but here we are. It got called back against the Chiefs (almost like Goff isn’t up to date with the rules of being in motion), but the fact that they are willing to be creative gives me more hope than some of the recent usage stuff does.

Sans a blowout of Cincinnati, Monty hasn’t cleared 12 carries in a game this season, and there’s really no reason to call his number in the passing game when you have access to Jahmyr Gibbs (six targets over the past five weeks).

We saw the juice he still has in the explosion effort against the Ravens, and we know he’s a drive finisher, but there is no denying that the development of Gibbs into a well-rounded option has come at the expense of Detroit’s RB2.

Even with a lower floor/ceiling combination than he had in the Ben Johnson scheme, this is a starting-level profile. The loss in Kansas City last week was the first time this season that he didn’t get multiple red-zone touches: you’re chasing scores to a degree, but there aren’t five situations in which I’d rather do it.

Sam LaPorta

Sam LaPorta has scored in consecutive weeks (19 touchdowns in 39 career games), and I worry less about his target ceiling than I do others at the position.

Of course, I’d love to see him clear six looks in a game, something he hasn’t done since Week 1, but the track record of efficiency is enough to make him a lineup lock, especially in a home game like this that carries shootout potential.

If you include the playoff loss, LaPorta has hauled in 39 of his past 47 targets, a success rate that looks more like my high school GPA than a catch percentage. Much like Travis Kelce in Kansas City, Detroit has dialed back his average depth of target (5.9 yards after posting 7.4 and 7.9 in his first two NFL seasons), and it’s helped stabilize his fantasy floor.

Don’t bemoan the target count; be happy you’re one of the five highest floors at the position.
