How family prepared Lions rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown to knock the 'boulder' off his shoulder

In the wee hours of one morning in 2005, John and Miriam Brown used a roll call to account for their three children before heading off to the airport.

Equanimeous and Osiris St. Brown were both sitting in the family’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class, where they needed to be, but John and Miriam's baby boy, Amon-Ra St. Brown, was nowhere to be found.

Their flight to Spain was leaving around 6 a.m. from Orange County, California, so in order to prevent a "Home Alone" situation from happening, John checked inside the house one last time.
