Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recently proved at training camp that even the best players can’t catch every ball one-handed.
In a video shared out Monday afternoon by the Lions’ social media team, St. Brown was repeatedly making one-handed catches from the JUGS Machine, which shoots out footballs and is a way for players to practice with perfect passes.
St. Brown was making it look extremely easy, almost effortless, for the first few reps shown on camera, but then the video switches to an angle behind St. Brown. He catches the first one, but the second pass appears to go through his hands and knocks down the camera.
“My bad, I should’ve had that one,” St. Brown says to the camera.
The video was posted with the caption “@amonra_stbrown has hands AND manners”.

It’s not entirely clear if the video was staged or not, as the camera shot from the ground is perfectly aligned, which sets off some red flags for someone who used to shoot a lot of video of football practices.
But either way, one thing is clear; St. Brown is putting in the work and looks the part, which fans in the comments made sure to point out.
“Unbelievably jacked,” Shot of Michigan Sports said of St. Brown, who was shirtless in the video.
Another account simply said “Pro Bowler,” which was reminiscent of a lot of the responses.
