Niyo: Lions’ receivers take pride in their block party: ‘They get after it’

Allen Park — They’re starting to get a reputation.

“And I love it,” said Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Lions ’ All-Pro receiver whose knack for getting his nose dirty is really no secret anymore around the NFL.

“I feel like with receivers, a lot of times, they're not known for blocking,” St. Brown continued. “They're known for running routes. And then when the running game happens, when there's a run called, they're usually just getting in the way.”
