USC Legend Amon-Ra St. Brown Takes Rare Jab at Chiefs, Kansas City originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
USC legend Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed he doesn’t like one aspect of the Kansas City Chiefs. But it has nothing to do with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, or even the presence of Taylor Swift.

The Detroit Lions star shared on the St. Brown Brothers podcast what he’s not fond of involving the Chiefs, taking a rare jab at them.
He didn’t take a dig at the team. Nor did he take shots at the Chiefs’ celebrity fame the past two seasons due to Swift’s relationship with Kelce.
St. Brown instead went after the city while speaking with his brother Equanimeous and Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel.

“I’ve been to Kansas City; I was there for the draft,” St. Brown said. “Bro, I’m sorry. If you have money, I’m not living here after I get some money.”
St. Brown sounds like someone who got bored roaming around K.C. Or probably got tuned off by the city’s small market vibe. St. Brown is more used to the bright lights and pristine weather of Southern California. After all he starred for prep powerhouse Mater Dei High in Orange County then went on to rise as one of the top receiving options for the Trojans.

St. Brown did have one good experience in K.C., though. His Lions pulled the 2023 season opening upset of the Chiefs 21-20 out in Arrowhead Stadium. St. Brown caught the game’s first touchdown on a 9-yard connection from Jared Goff. He led the Lions with six receptions for 71 yards and the touchdown.
Detroit will return to Arrowhead this season. Both teams are scheduled to play a primetime Sunday night showdown on Oct. 12. Best believe fans or even Chiefs players will use St. Brown’s words as fuel.
