Along with his co-stars of the popular Netflix docuseries "Receiver", Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was recently tasked with sharing his best pickup line.
The segment was hosted by NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, and St. Brown was joined by Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle.
Manning set the scene for St. Brown, who he placed at an amusement park. The Lions wide receiver then delivered this line:
"Are you a bumper car?" St. Brown began. "Because you keep crashing into my thoughts."
St. Brown didn't have the best, but he didn't have the worst, either. The best no doubt went to Adams, who provided this gem before Manning crowned him the winner:
"Hey baby, are you a beaver? 'Cause dam."
Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Justin Jefferson & George Kittle delivering pickup lines is an ick we didn't know we had 😂

I'm the furthest thing from an expert in this subject, but St. Brown's super corny line might actually be effective because it's funny. Of course, St. Brown won't get to try it because he has a girlfriend.
St. Brown is coming off the best season of his career after tallying 119 receptions for 1,515 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. For his efforts, the Lions rewarded the USC product with a massive extension this offseason that will thankfully keep him in Detroit for the long haul.
