Amon-Ra St. Brown, the standout wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, has voiced strong support for the team”s recent hiring of Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator. This response comes after some fans expressed dissatisfaction with the decision. The Lions parted ways with their previous offensive coordinator, John Morton, after just one season and quickly chose Petzing, who held a similar role with the Arizona Cardinals.
In a recent episode of his podcast, St. Brown urged fans to exercise patience and questioned their understanding of the team”s decision-making process. “Do you guys have no trust in Dan and the Lions? Do you think they would just hire a random dude? Be for real,” he stated. St. Brown emphasized that fans should not rush to judgment about a coach they may not fully understand, adding, “Most of you guys don”t really know much about anything, about any ball, and you”re tweeting about a coach who was hired that you guys don”t like because of X, Y, Z.”
While he expressed his love for the Lions” fanbase, he also encouraged them to “relax” and let the situation unfold before forming opinions. Given the Lions” challenging 2025 season, fans may naturally feel anxious and critical, especially considering the franchise”s long history without a Super Bowl appearance. Nevertheless, St. Brown”s remarks highlight the importance of giving the new coaching staff a chance to prove themselves before passing judgment.
As the Lions prepare for the upcoming season, it remains to be seen how Petzing”s strategies will impact the team. With St. Brown”s endorsement, fans may need to reconsider their initial reactions and allow Petzing time to establish his approach in Detroit.
In related news, teams across the league are making significant roster adjustments as they prepare for the offseason, with speculation surrounding various player movements and coaching changes.
