In an offseason where the Lions have lost numerous assistant coaches on both sides of the ball, they hired former Stanford HC David Shaw as their pass game coordinator. Detroit WR Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed his prior relationship with Shaw and outlined his excitement to get to work with him.
“I’ve known Shaw since high school,” St. Brown said, via his podcast. “I always thought he was a great guy, honest, and then you went to Notre Dame and Osiris always wanted to go to Stanford, so he ended up going to Stanford. I went to the camps at Stanford with him, with Osiris, saw Shaw there, and so we kind of got to know him.”
“He was with Johnny (Morton) in Denver and Johnny Mo was doing a lot of good stuff when he was here in Detroit so I’m excited.”
Despite having numerous young, solid receiving options, nobody on the Packers has emerged as a true No. 1 option consistently. Green Bay RB Josh Jacobs believes they could use a bonafide star receiver and teased a Packer reunion for Jets WR Davante Adams.
“We’ve got a really young group of receivers,” Jacobs said, via 97.3 The Game. “All can be really, really, really special. But I think, personally, we need a guy that’s proven to be a No. 1 already.”
“I’ve had some talks with Tae,” he added.
