Why Detroit Lions wide receivers are willing to trade touches for wins in 2022

The Detroit Lions spent more resources on their receiving corps this offseason than any other position group, an approach welcomed by last year's No. 1 receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown.

"I think it’s just going to open up more holes in the middle," St. Brown said Wednesday. "I don’t think we had too much success last year with the deep ball, and I think that’s an area we as an offense want to improve on. But I think adding guys like that is only going to help us."

The Lions made DJ Chark their top free-agent addition and traded up to take Alabama receiver Jameson Williams with the 12th pick of last month's draft.
