The Facts: St. Brown arrived to USC with plenty of five-star fanfare. His leap to the NFL did not bring the same buzz, but he changed that with one professional season. He's ready to pick up where he left off entering 2022 and isn't wasting time listening to doubters. "I don't really have anything to say about the people who may feel like my rookie season was a fluke," St. Brown told ESPN. "All I can do is try to prove them wrong. For me, I'm not really worried about other people. I'm worried about myself, the team and what I know I can do."

Diehards Line:After a slow start, St. Brown finished his rookie campaign with emphasis, recording consecutive 100-plus-yard games in Weeks 17 and 18, and scoring a touchdown in each of his final four contests. St. Brown began his ascension with a game-winning touchdown reception in Week 13, hauling in an 11-yard pass from Jared Goff as time expired to give the Lions their first win in a difficult 2021 season, and the rookie took off from there. The goal in his second season is improving. "As a receiver, there's so many little things that you can do," he said. "A lot of drills, getting in and out of your breaks, catching the ball, working my releases off press, getting stronger, working on your balance. I'm not gonna stop what I do now." Good thing. Opposing teams won't overlook the receiver who led Detroit with 90 catches, 912 yards and five touchdowns last season.
