The connection between Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown has become one of the most dangerous quarterback-wide receiver duos in the NFL.
On Monday, Goff made it clear just how highly he thinks of his top target.

While speaking with Sam Wyche and Stacey Dales, the Detroit Lions quarterback didn’t hesitate when asked about St. Brown, delivering a glowing endorsement that left little doubt about where he believes his teammate ranks among the league’s elite.
“He’s the best, he really is,” Goff said. “I think he’s the best wide receiver in the league. I think he’s the only guy who catches it, runs with it, blocks, he does everything, he can do it all. It’s a lot of fun to work with him, and to play with him. The way he works in practice, he makes me want to get him the ball, he makes me want to reward him for all his hard work. And it makes everyone around him work harder. He’s such a great teammate, great player, great person, and I love playing with him.”
High Praise for the Lions’ Star Receiver
Calling any player the best at his position is a bold statement, especially considering the talent currently playing wide receiver across the NFL.
But Goff’s comments weren’t based solely on statistics.
He praised St. Brown’s complete game, highlighting not only his elite hands and playmaking ability but also his willingness to block, his relentless work ethic, and the leadership he brings to Detroit’s locker room.
Those qualities have helped transform St. Brown from a fourth-round draft pick into one of the NFL’s premier offensive weapons.

A Partnership That Continues to Thrive
The chemistry between Goff and St. Brown has been evident ever since the receiver entered the league in 2021.
That connection reached another level in 2025, when St. Brown hauled in 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns, once again serving as the focal point of Detroit’s passing attack.
With training camp now underway and expectations higher than ever, the Lions will once again lean heavily on one of the NFL’s most productive quarterback-receiver combinations.
If Goff’s comments are any indication, don’t expect that to change anytime soon.
