Even NFL WR appreciated his father’s unwavering support during his move to USC. Previously in an interview “Without him I wouldn’t be where I am today. He took me from point A to point Z. He’s a great dad. He’s tough on the field, but he loves it off the field too.” Amon-Ra noticed. Apart from that, he also had a great time with his father. “He’s a funny guy. We laugh a lot. He balances that out really well.”
Thanks to his father’s strong support, the Detroit Lions’ fourth-round pick earned his first All-Pro nomination last season. The Lions’ star WR also posted 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns on 119 catches, making him one of the best WRs in the league.
