Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown nears NFL record for career catches

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown enters his sixth NFL season requiring only 33 additional catches to set a new league record for the most receptions through six years. St. Brown currently holds the record for the most catches through five seasons with 547, maintaining a career average of 109.4 receptions per year. The existing six-season record stands at 579 catches, established by Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson in 2025. Despite finishing last in the NFC North during the 2025 season, the Lions return a roster that includes wide receiver Jameson Williams and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. The team faces a modified schedule for 2026, featuring matchups against the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, and Arizona Cardinals. St. Brown enters the campaign as a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro selection.
