There is no doubt one of the key attractions this week
and one of the main reasons the Lions are here is Amon Ross St. Brown.
With his family ties to Germany and being a German citizen,
Amon Ross St. Brown has been, like we said at the beginning,
a rock star since we got here. They have come out to see him.
They will be out to see him here today,
but it's already been a heck of a weekend.
On Friday, shortly after they arrived,
St. Brown worked out with his teammates
at the Bayern campus ahead of Sunday's game with the Patriots.
His press conference that followed included over 100 local journalists,
and he spoke German for about 75% of it.
Saturday, he made a surprise appearance
with his parents at the Lions Fan Fest.
He was met with huge applause
and made for one more memorable moment in a much-anticipated weekend.
Being half German, my mom being, you know, born and raised in Germany,
me and my two brothers and my family spending
a lot of time in Germany growing up.
It's cool to be back doing what I love the most,
which is playing football at a place that I really love.
This is special for him. It's special for us.
And yeah, we feel like this is going to be a home game.
Like, you know, I said this way back in the spring.
It's like, hey, we're Germany's team. All right.
So St. Brown, we're going to hang on to his coattails.
And we're excited to be here.
Of course he wants to win.
We all want to win.
I think more than anything,
he wants to represent this country in a positive way.
And he has in America, like I said.
But being able to do it now in front of these fans,
I'm so excited to hear the reception he gets
when he runs out of the tunnel.
Thank you.
And yeah, we want to win, and we want to win for him
and let him have that moment.
But I think he just wants to go out there and have fun
and enjoy being in front of a lot of his home fans in a way.
And Lomas, when it comes to a guy like Saint,
you just love the fact that the league can celebrate a guy
that does it the right way, stands for the right things,
and just happens to be one of the best players in the league.
Absolutely. A total role model, right?
Like you say, he does everything the right way.
The guy speaks three languages. I mean, he does it all for us.
And yes, he is Jared Goff's security blanket when we need big plays.
He's the guy that gives it to us. He's got everything in the package.
He was asked if he had a special touchdown celebration,
and he said he was working on it.
And then he added, haven't been in the end zone in a couple weeks.
So when Saints says something like that, you know he's hot.
Oh, yeah.
I bet Jared would be looking for him early and often.
