The Detroit Lions gave their fans an awesome gift inspired by All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.
The Detroit Lions gave their fans a nice gift at training camp practice on Tuesday.
To combat the heat while watching practice, the team gave fans a fan to cool off. However, the fan was shaped like superstar wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's iconic headstand touchdown celebration he did versus the Green Bay Packers last season.
The photo of the fan is posted below by ESPN's Eric Woodyard.
"Something unique off the field from #Lions camp today is that they were giving out these fans, but they were shaped like Amon-Ra St. Brown’s famous headstand celebration. That celebration continues to take on a life of its own," Woodyard wrote on X.
St. Brown's headstand celebration immediately went viral back in Week 9 of the 2024 season, and it has also become a memorable moment in recent Lions' history. The original celebration was done by Incarnate Word wide receiver Jalen Walthall
The Lions decided to capitalize on the popularity of the celebration and use it to give back to their fans. The fans in Detroit are known for being incredibly loyal and supporting their team no matter what.
Giving out a fan shaped like St. Brown's celebration is a very creative way to market and convince fans to attend practices during training camp. It also markets the player and the celebration even more.
St. Brown, who has been a first-team All-Pro selection in each of the last two seasons, has become a fan favorite in Detroit and is one of the faces of the franchise. The 25-year-old has tallied three straight seasons with over 100 receptions and 1,000 receiving yards and has also missed just two games in his career.
The Lions will return to game action on Thursday, as Dan Campbell's squad will travel to Canton to square off against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Hall of Fame game. St. Brown and other key starters and backups won't play, as Campbell is giving players fighting for roster spots a chance to shine instead.
