Amon-Ra St. Brown hopes to become more of a deep threat for the Detroit Lions this coming season.

Detroit receivers coach Antwaan Randle El believes it can happen.

"He can get in and out of cuts so easily, like he doesn't have to give all that extra stuff cause he can just get out of it so fast," Randle El said. "So I just want [him] to just run that smooth route. Like, you don't have to give any extra at the top of it, just, pop-pop, come on out of it and he's been doing it in OTAs so that's been a growth for him. So no extra movement, just get in the route, come out of it because he gets in the route so fast."

St. Brown has a career average of 10.6 yards per catch, a number that increased last season largely due to yards after catch.
