Fan Slides Into Amon-Ra St. Brown’s DM’s to Drop Some Fantasy Advice, ‘Remember the Titans’ Quote

When fantasy and reality collide.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is projected by many to have a breakout year heading into his second NFL season, and one fantasy football owner is expecting “perfection” from the Detroit Lions wide burgeoning receiver. The Detroit Lions receiver received a direct message on Instagram this week from a guy who selected him in a fantasy football draft. The message quickly went viral after St. Brown shared a screenshot. The fan sent out some congrats to him for being selected to his fantasy team and said he also expects the receiver to “be perfect in every aspect of the game.”

If the quote sounds familiar, it should, it was in the football movie, “Remember the Titans”

St. Brown had 90 catches for 912 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie last year in Detroit.  Over the final month of the season, St. Brown was one of the best receivers in the NFL. His role in the Lions’ offense was minimal in most of his first 11 games (39/352 on 52 targets). Detroit shifted the bulk of their passing attack to the rookie over the last six games (10/86/1, 8/73, 8/90/1, 9/91/1, 8/111/1, 8/109/1) while receiving double-digit targets (67 total) in each contest.  While the Lions are already looking like a much better squad than in the past, now they have some more motivation to get things rolling.

Fantasy football owners can be absolutely nuts, and totally demanding as you can see.
