It's official former USC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been selected by the Detroit Lions in Round 4 of the 2021 NFL Draft.

St. Brown was projected to be a Round 2 or Round 3 pick, but fell down the draft boards to pick No. 112.

Another former USC wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster took to social media to congratulate Amon-Ra on his big accomplishment after the Lions announced their draft selection.

If you remember back in 2017, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Smith-Schuster in the second round [62nd overall]. He was the youngest player selected in the 2017 NFL Draft and was the 13th USC wide receiver drafted in the last 15 years.

In a video recording Smith-Schuster said, "My boy Amon-Ra St. Brown, what's up man. Congratulations on the draft this year, I just want to wish you the best of luck. Honestly, let God handle it, [and] take over smoothly, and be great this year baby let's get it."
