How Amon-Ra St. Brown learned that Ben Johnson was joining the Detroit Lions again is described.On Tuesday, Amon-Ra St. Brown received good news about the offensive coaching staff of the Detroit Lions for the next season.
In an interview with the St. Brown Brothers podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Equanimeous St. Brown of the Chicago Bears, Amon-Ra said that one of his coaches, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, called him before his alarm went off. After spending one of his first offseason evenings playing video games until two in the morning, Amon-Ra set his alarm for eleven a.m. However, he woke up a few hours early to receive a call from Johnson, informing him that he was returning to Detroit rather than perhaps accepting a head coaching position.
NOW TO RELAX: Detroit Lions C Pro Bowler Frank Ragnow withdraws to recuperate and “figure everything out.””Then there was like a little pause and I was like, ‘So, what’s up with you, you did the interview, like are you leaving?'” Amon-Ra informed his sibling. “He stated he didn’t get any sleep the night before and that’s why he’s heading to the facility right now. After giving it some thought, he stated, “There’s unfinished business,” and that he wanted to stay. He mentioned Taylor Decker, Frank Ragnow, Penei Sewell, Jared Goff, and me. Every single dude. “His heart is in Detroit, and he wants to stay,” he stated.
After greeting each other and discussing signing a jersey for Johnson’s wife, the Lions All-Pro receiver revealed that Amon-Ra questioned Johnson about his plans for the upcoming season, considering that he had already conducted interviews for five head coaching jobs and had one scheduled that day with the Washington Commanders. Amon-Ra claimed that after giving it some thought, Johnson informed him that he had unresolved business and would be joining the Detroit Lions for a third season as offensive coordinator.
Among the first to learn of the news were St. Brown, who received it shortly after influential figures such as head coach Dan Campbell. While driving to the Lions complex, Johnson told Amon-Ra that following the conversation he would be alerting his agent and other players. Amon-Ra texted Goff to relay the good news, albeit he remained unsure due to rumours that the Commanders would be in Detroit that day for an interview.
