Jared Goff-Amon-Ra St. Brown connection has Lions dreaming big

DETROIT -- The high school football scene in California was buzzing in 2017. There was an All-American receiver at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana whose name was hard to pronounce.

Amon-Ra (ahmon-RAH) St. Brown.

Then-Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff, another California native who was selected first overall in the NFL draft the previous year, couldn't figure out the name either.

"When I was in LA and he was in high school, it was him and the [Mater Dei] quarterback JT Daniels, and they were lighting the world on fire," Goff recalled.
