<p id=”par-3_21″>During the <em>Cold as Balls </em>season premiere on April 8, the two discussed when St. Brown was drafted in 2021. </p>

<p id=”par-4_21″>Hart brought up that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/”>the athlete</a> was selected in the fourth round and asked what his mindset was about that. </p>

<p id=”par-5_7″>“I was pissed,” St. Brown replied. </p>

<p id=”par-6_32″>Hart then questioned if he was excited about going to Detroit and St. Brown admitted, “No, I was not … at the time I was like ‘F*** I’m going to Detroit.’” </p>

<p id=”par-7_43″>The wideout’s lack of enthusiasm about playing for the Lions is because every year since 2018, the team had always finished with a losing record and last place in the NFC North division. So there wasn’t much to be excited about back then.</p>
