The Latest NFL Updates: Amon-Ra's Mega-Deal and EQ's 49ers Move
The 2025 season has been defined by two major, contrasting updates for the two NFL-playing brothers, highlighting the volatile nature of professional football and the peak of Amon-Ra's ascent.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Becomes One of the NFL's Highest-Paid Receivers
The biggest news of the year for the St. Brown family is undoubtedly the landmark contract extension signed by Amon-Ra St. Brown with the Detroit Lions. The deal, finalized ahead of the 2025 season, is a four-year extension worth a staggering $120 million in new money. This extension includes approximately $77 million in guaranteed money, cementing his status among the elite wide receivers in the league in terms of compensation.
Amon-Ra’s incredible production since being drafted in the fourth round—a pick famously recorded in a viral clip where he listed all the receivers drafted before him—has paid off handsomely. The new contract ensures he remains a cornerstone of the Lions' offense for years to come, with his 2025 earnings including an $8.3 million base salary, a signing bonus, and a workout bonus.
Equanimeous St. Brown's Rollercoaster 2025 Season
In contrast to his younger brother’s financial security, Equanimeous St. Brown’s 2025 journey has been a challenging one. After signing with the New Orleans Saints in 2024, the veteran wide receiver made a move to the San Francisco 49ers in the 2025 offseason.
However, the opportunity for a fresh start with a Super Bowl contender was quickly hampered by injury. EQ was reportedly placed on the Injured Reserve (IR) list before the 2025 season began, a difficult setback for the oldest St. Brown. While his status is officially with the 49ers, this IR placement means he will miss significant time, a harsh reminder of the physical toll of the NFL.
The Unconventional Training That Forged Three NFL-Ready Athletes
The sheer success of the St. Brown brothers is not accidental; it is the direct result of a highly disciplined and often unconventional upbringing driven by their father, John Brown. John Brown, a former Mr. Universe, instilled a bodybuilding mentality into his sons from a shockingly young age.
The 'Mr. Universe' Regimen
The brothers began a rigorous weightlifting and strength training program when they were just children—Amon-Ra was reportedly nine years old when he started lifting with his father. This was not typical youth sports training; John Brown pushed them through high-rep sets of classic bodybuilding exercises, including bench presses and biceps curls, a regimen more common for competitive bodybuilders than young wide receiver prospects.
The goal was to build raw strength, muscle endurance, and an unbreakable work ethic. This intense, structured approach to fitness became the foundation of their lives, leading to the development of a unique combination of strength and speed that defines their play style today.
The Competitive Edge and German Influence
The competitiveness between the three brothers is legendary and was actively encouraged by their parents. They were raised speaking French and German at home, adding another layer to their unique identity. This constant, internal sibling rivalry—where every workout, every catch, and even every grade was a competition—sharpened their focus and fueled their desire to excel, ultimately creating a trio of German-American athletes ready for the highest levels of football.
Osiris's Path and The St. Brown Podcast Phenomenon
While Amon-Ra and EQ have taken their sibling rivalry to the NFL gridiron, the third brother, Osiris, has carved out a pivotal role in the family’s media empire, ensuring the St. Brown name remains a constant presence in the football world.
Life After Stanford Football
Osiris, who played college football at Stanford, ultimately chose a different path than his older and younger brothers, opting not to pursue a professional career after his college tenure. While his college stats are on record, his current impact is felt off the field.
The St. Brown Podcast: A Sibling Rivalry for the Airwaves
Osiris is a key co-host, alongside Amon-Ra and Equanimeous, on the highly popular *St. Brown Podcast*. The show has become a major entity in the NFL media landscape, offering fans an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at the lives of two active NFL players and their non-playing brother.
It is here that the famous sibling rivalry truly shines, with the brothers discussing everything from the latest NFL news and pop culture to their own careers and competitive childhood. Osiris's presence provides a crucial balance and a unique perspective on the family dynamic, making the podcast essential listening for anyone tracking the St. Brown legacy. The show is a testament to their enduring bond, even as their professional paths diverge.
