Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is not afraid to showcase his physicality on the football field.

While many will highlight his catching ability and his propensity to shed tackles and secure yards after the catch, an underrrated aspects of St. Brown’s game is his physicality and willingness to block and aid his teammates get open and secure additional space out on the field.

On the first day of joint practices, the former fourth-round pick was at the center of a significant brawl. The Giants were well aware of who the key components are in Detroit’s offense. They were unafraid to give Detroit’s offense, including St. Brown, extra shoves when reps were completed.

After a nice reception, St. Brown and the Giants’ defense let tensions boil over. He shoved Dane Belton, leading to a massive skirmish breaking out.

Amik Robertson, who is a new member of Detroit’s secondary, cautioned that he must be aware of where St. Brown is at all times.

The standout wideout takes plenty of pride in blocking, even when the player across from him is his teammate.

You have to watch him out there,” said Robertson. “You know we are practicing with him every day.

He tries to sneak up on you and put people on their ass, you know? So, you know, he’s a very passionate player.
