Few players in the NFL have had the kind of rise to stardom after only three seasons in the league, like All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions.
St. Brown has found a way to keep taking his game to another level year after year and has quickly become the No. 1 target in the Lions offense and star quarterback Jared Goff’s go-to guy in the passing game in Detroit.
Each season, St. Brown has improved his numbers across the board, from his impressive rookie year with 90 catches for 912 yards and five touchdowns to his first All-Pro season last year, when he hauled in 119 catches for 1,515 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
With St. Brown being a star on the rise in the NFL, the 24-year-old has had to deal with his fair share of angry fanbases on a weekly basis, as the better a player gets, the more hate he’s going to receive from fans of the opponent.
Even though it might not have been the wisest choice, St. Brown revealed the two teams that bother him the most, with one being obvious in the diehard Green Bay Packers fans within the NFC North division and the other being Atlanta Falcons fans, as he shared with fellow star Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders via Dov Kleiman.
“I hate the Packers fans… and some of the worst fans was the Falcons,” St. Brown said.

With Packers fans now knowing they can get under St. Brown’s skin, he might have an even rougher time at Lambeau Field, where he’ll play divisional games every single year.
The same goes for when the Lions play the Falcons on the road in Atlanta because some things are better left unsaid, as you don’t want to give a fanbase more fuel ahead of matchups.
