[Highlight] Funny story: Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown chose jersey No. 14 because he wanted to wear the number of WRs drafted before him. He told his girlfriend to count how many there were and she said 14. One problem: she miscounted. It was actually 16.

I was elected to lead, not to read.
I say this in my head with the Schwarzenegger voice when given a fitting circumstance. Great line, still makes me chuckle
His number should go down every time one of them is out of the league.Ā
Amari Rodgers and Anthony Schwartz seem to be out of the league, or at least haven't been on a roster for over a year. So 14 seems to actually be the correct number today.
Anthony Schwartz
The man that got my QBs shoulder obliterated and ruined my franchise for a decade.
I enraged watching the Titans draft Daz Newsome or whatever the fuck his name is when Amon-Ra was still there.
Dez Fitzpatrick is who youāre referring to, Dazz Newsome is a different unsuccessful WR
Yeah that was our failed pick
When im not cheering on the Titans I always cheer for the Bears and have a few pieces of Bears gear, because I hate myself i guess lol. Either way, I always get those two mixed up because of it.
Those were... some choices you made
To be fair, Dee Eskridge and Anthony Schwartz barely count.
Once again the rule of "cool name = good, not cool name = not good" is proven correct. I could have told you both of these guys were gonna suck without watching a single highlight. But the guy literally named after the Sun God? Obvious superstar, regardless of what round they were picked.
Then you got like Mike Evans messing everything up.
Mike Evans is like SO boring it gets cool again in some way.
Anthony Schwartz is an OL name
Who?
That's #8 and #15 to you.
"Sweety, can you count the WRs that came before me?"
"14! Oh, wait, you meant in the draft..."
lmaooo
Oh gosh oh heck
14! Try not to suck any ducks on your way through the parking lot.
In a row??
Get back here!
Iām not even supposed to be in this play!
In a row?
Quack Quack Quack! I'm a duck!
No, you're not. You're just saying that because you want to get sucked.
Quack?

A bunch of fucking savages in this town
jesus christ
you should be the head mod of this sub
You know they browse Reddit and they absolutely saw this lmao
Where's that factorial bot?
It's 87,178,291,200. That's a lot of WRs
GEEZ!
And that's not even that bad if you consider she would only do WRs. If you count QBs and RBs tho...
How do you simultaneously care enough to base your jersey number on it but don't care enough to even look it up yourself?
I'm guessing that it was an in the moment idea, and he didn't actually look it up until someone online or in person corrected him.
By trusting someone
Single people win again!!! Amiright guys!!!! Never been let down ever!!!
Keep those walls UP KING
Napoleon crowned himself. We can too!
I dunno. I let myself down all the time.
The trick is to not have goals, hopes, or dreams.
Remember kids, if you hope for nothing, you'll never be disappointed
I guess parents donāt count now?
Was gonna say I actually love that he trusted his girl no questions asked and didnāt double check
This is why he has all their names memorized.
I trust my spouse 1000% but seems stupid to ask her to do something I can do on my phone myself or better yet ask someone on the team itself.
Hey honey can you look up why alligators are so angry? Bitch look it up yourself. You got a phone.
They angry cuz they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.
If you can't trust your girl who can you trust (aside from your barber and like three homies)
Trust but verify, double-check your work, basic literacy - it's all out the window today
Recently got into a spat over this, you'd be be amazed at how people just brush off being uninformed on something but will give you a full opinion on that same something lol
He probably didn't actually care that much. He had to pick a number and that was the first thing he thought of.
Counting can be hard?
And you, can count on me, waiting for you, in the parking lot!
Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit
I believe that belongs to Mr. Gilmore
Trying to reach the green from here, Shooter? ... Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
Well, maybe some of those dudes were like flex talents. WR/TE or WR/RB.
Its wild he would take it this personally but then not count himself, to be honest
Ya I get not second guessing your gf but if you make this part of your persona, you should be aware how many went before lol
Bro if you can't trust your partner to count to 16 what the fuck can they be trusted with lol
I mean he apparently had no clue how high she had to count. Wasn't he allegedly keeping track of them all? Both of them are goofy AF
He was naming them all from memory, idk what's going on with this story lol.
I mean he knows the names and their colleges. And he does in fact know there are 16 so I'm confused now too
He can't count himself, the set of all wide receivers taken before him logically can't include him
This is America
He couldn't just google it? Surely he had a couple weeks to pick his number
This guy recites the names of the receivers picked ahead of him every single day, he knew the number
Doesn't he have anything better to do
Drew Brees kept the scout notes saying he had accuracy issues in his locker.
These dudes always have a way to find their motivationĀ
Iām with the scout here, Brees completion percentage and passer rating donāt even get close to Mohamed Sanuās career numbers. Canāt even beat out a WR.
I saw Receiver and this doesnāt surprise me.
His entire story was him being pissy about all the receivers drafted before him lol
Is it just me or did he come off as whiney as hell?
He gets it from his dad, who always loves to talk about how tough he is
Not saying heās a bad person but he seems exhausting to be around all the time
Edit: Iām referring to the dad being exhausting to be around
My favorite was his dad saying kd will never be injured if he trained him
Tacking on "St." to their last name because it sounds cool is hilarious too
I mean didnt Amon-Ra play a bunch of games with broken ribs?
Edit: It was an oblique torn off the bone
Does it sound annoying? Yes. However, when you play most of a season with your oblique torn off the bone, and you still meet the goals you set out for yourself(1500+ yards and 10 touchdowns); can you deny the results? No.
I was talking about his dad being annoying lmao
Yeah, especially if you watch their podcast episode with their father. Very odd family, that comes off annoying at times.
Let's not forget that he also played with blisters on his hands and feet and almost never talked about it, he's definitely not whiney lol
dude is tough as nails. and honestly based on how talented he is and how hard he's worked to get to where he is? i dont blame him for having a chip on his shoulder and memorizing the name of every WR that got drafted ahead of him.
There's others with his story, even worse too. Like that one backup QB in the 12th round who went to New England. Whoever that was.
It felt like his entire personality. I like him as a football player though.
Heās a great player on-field. I agree with you there.
I agree with this. itās been 4 years and heās still talking about it. i understood it in the beginning but now iām rolling my eyes a bit.
I think some(a lot of it) is actually just media pushing/asking about it.
Kinda feel itās just a marketing thing for him at this point TBH
nah it def still bothers him
This could easily be due to how the show was edited, though. I agree that's how he came off, but we only get a small percent of the footage they take for the show. They likely leaned into that because it's a more interesting story for a TV show and gives watchers a more coherent narrative. You could still be right, though.
But he can speak German!
He seems to like having a chip on his shoulder, I don't think that makes him whiney at all
If youāll notice, almost everyone making those comments are fans of Lionās rivals.
[Bears Flair]: "Does anybody else think St. Brown is annoying as fuck? No I'm definitely not mad that he punks us twice a year."
You're right, I guess I gave other nfcn flairs in this sub too much credit. I assumed they'd keep that in the meme war subs
Pissy but he backs it up soooo
Lmao OP is back from the hentai subs for a random nfl post again
Maybe they forgot to switch accounts?
They are a regular contributor to this sub on that account lmao
That's surprising ā I thought people usually kept their porn accounts separate...
people usually do; this guy is built different
Real lunch pail type of guy.
Yea one of my alt accounts is a real dick.
He's here to watch porn and talk football and he's all out of porn
The boomers who troll in political subs never do
I thought they were talking about something else at first.
I'm 16?!
In a row?!
Sadly, she only has one foot.
Me counting my reps in the gym
Well it worked out considering Goff wears 16!
If I remember right Phillip Rivers did the same thing. When drafted he wanted to wear the number of how many kids he'd have before retiring. Sadly it only went up to 99, so he settled way lower.
The more I hear about ARSB, the more I think he may actually be insane. Like, clinically insane.
The way him and his brothers were raised it makes sense tbh. They were raised from day 1 to be NFL players, starting with their literal name
Heās basically a psychopath, but more in the way Michael Jordan was about competition.
Yeah hoping he dodges any concussions in the near future
Dude is a few bad hits away from thinking he's an actual Egyptian God
When you play most of a season with a oblique torn clean off the bone, and still go over 1500 yards. Yeah, maybe not everything is there.
What about this makes you react that way? This is a totally harmless human thing. The reaction in this thread would make you think he doesn't believe in numbers or something. It's a cute story about a miscount with his partner, I don't get how people can seriously take this the way it's being taken in this thread.
Are y'all just bots farming for engagement? Like seriously, I can't tell at this point.
Well the good news is that a WR with the right talent can make any number look cool. Amon-Ra makes 14 look good, mistake or no.
And it makes for a fun sports fact, at least!
Lol
Lmao even
ROFL possibly
Whoās that brunette? Damn
Goff's wife I think
16 ugly AF on a receiver
And I mean it was kinda already JGs number so he wasn't getting it anyway lol
Put respect on Tyler Lockett
I was about to say! Love Tyler Lockett back to his Kansas State days.
I thought they both came across as very likable in the Receiver documentary
He outsourced his grudge?
Kadarius Toney and Amari Rogers donāt count
Damn, so I guess he aināt him
This video wasn't about Dak Prescott...
No, itās about the guy who isnāt him, keep up!
Jesus, this thread is awful. People are seriously choosing to use a tiny mix up to call these people stupid, with the usual sprinkling of misogyny on top. Peak Reddit loser behavior.
Also sheās a RN, so that means years of schooling and certifications, but Iāve seen several people imply she was stupid or that becoming a nurse isnāt incredibly difficult
He's gonna wear 17 now
16 was Goffās number, so he likely wouldnāt have gotten it anyways š
Yāall wonder if we get to hear the āthese guys were drafted before me and thatāll be the chip in my shoulderā story again next offseason?
This whole āI know every player drafted beforeā shit is so played out.
He didn't like... double check?
He couldn't count them himself? Or like, look at a draft board anytime before getting his number?
WAGS didn't come to play school
I mean. Imagine outsourcing counting to 16
Thatās just too high for any one person to count. He should have crowd sourced it so that we could all help.
Why didn't he just ask the Lions analytics staff?!?!
Ya I mean there has to be some Lions people around for the 2008 team. We know they can count from 0 to 16
Well yeah, Campbell played on that team..
Hard to speak with a mouthful of kneecaps though
Damn that's good š
Take a well earned upvote.
They're still working on how many of those coffees he can semi-safely consume in a day
Why didnāt he go to https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/rounds/_/round/1?season=2021 with a pencil and a piece of paper????
Actually very few people know this but 24 is the highest number
Fewer people know this but Iāve thought of something waaay funnier than 24
Let me hear it!
25
Hehehehehehehe!
My two year old is learning to count from Sesame Street. They go to twenty.
Twenty doesn't exist. Fucking frauds. I bet they don't even surf.
Bro memorized the names, schools, and social security numbers of every WR taken before him but can't count the number of ounces in a pound
Grok, how many receivers were drafted before my man?
Grok would have said 1488
And then started talking about Boer genocide completely unprompted
"1...4...7...22...13...85" Man named after a god
Stfu, you donāt know what itās like to hit 15 and not know what lies beyond the horizonās edge
The St. Brown's are all actually extremely intelligent thanks to their mom.
Theyāre all pretty smart, which is partly why this is fucking hilarious
Probably just focusing on other stuff

Sheās a Richard Nixon?
No stupid, she's a Real Ninja
This pic got me good
She's definitely not a Reliable Number-counter.

Come on, you all should know it means Registration Number,
14 or 16?
Jokes aside being a registered nurse is very respectable in my eyes.
Thank gawd they don't pass meds.
Wait was I supposed to give them 2 of those or 4 or those?
I'm not saying she is uneducated or anything, but let's not pretend that Nursing isn't the default pick for almost every basic chick coming out of high school.
I know a lot of dumb nurses.
Me too, can't stand that type. Can you give me their numbers so I can block all of them?
As a nurse I know a ton of dumb nurses. And I canāt count to 16 either.
Coming from someone in healthcare, the bar for becoming a nurse is almost on the ground. I'm continuously amazed at how dumb some of them are.
Lmao, right?
Nurses aren't known for being good at math.
Sun gods donāt need school.
My favorite CFB quote ever
Why the hell would he even ask her to do that? Couldn't he have just looked at that information before he chose his number?
Because couples like to do things together?
Youāve never asked a partner to look something up for you?
