“It’s awesome,” St. Brown told Mlive.com. “I saw it, someone sent it to me, one of my friends and a lot of people ended up sending it to me. It’s just awesome to see. It’s humbling as a player to know you can touch other people’s lives just by playing a sport and being who I am. So, it’s awesome to see.”
