Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown 'the face of American football' in Germany

MUNICH, Germany — An originally loud and rambunctious room at FC Bayern Campus became quiet and focused. The reason for the silence? Word came through that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was on his way, and the room full of reporters, dozens of which were from Germany and other areas of Europe, turned its attention toward the door, waiting for Deutschland's brightest football star to walk in. kAmu@@E32== :D DE:== 2 8C@H:?8 DA@CE :? v6C>2?J[ 3FE 7@C E9@D6 H9@ H2E49 E96 }u{[ $E] qC@H? :D 2 D9@HDE@AA6C]k^Am kAmQx H@F=5 D2J 6G6CJ3@5J H9@ :D 2 =:EE=6 3:E :?E@ 7@@E32==[ p>6C:42? 7@@E32==[ :? v6C>2?J[Q D2:5 |2C:FD s6==[ 2 b`\J62C\@=5 7C@> w6:=3C@??
