Amon-Ra St. Brown sits at 15 receptions behind Puka Nacua for the NFL lead. Nacua's 42 receptions entering Thursday night now has the Detroit Lions star making a big prediction.

St. Brown discussed Nacua's fast start on his St. Brown Brothers Podcast with brother Equanimeous. The Lions star tuned in before he saw Nacua's Los Angeles Rams teammate Tutu Atwell scored his 88-yarder to seal the win over Indianapolis.

But Nacua became the big topic of discussion off his league-leading numbers. Leading St. Brown to create this belief.

"Puka is going f------ crazy right now," St. Brown began. "He's going to break every record besides touchdowns."

Nacua also leads in receiving yards at 503, becoming the only WR to cross the 500-yard mark through four games.

One St. Brown Shares Respect for Puka Nacua

Equanimeous has expressed mutual respect for the Rams star. And he let it be known on his podcast.

"I will say one thing about Puka: Whether you're a hater, admirer, whatever you are, you throw him the ball and he has great hands," St. Brown said. "You've got to give him credit."

The Lions WR added how Nacua's hands are "strong as f---."

Nacua recently appeared as a guest on their podcast before the season. Now there's the belief Nacua will rewrite some records -- including notable ones owned by a past Rams star.

Is Puka Nacua Set to Shatter 2021 Marks?

Cooper Kupp and his astonishing 2021 record numbers are now in jeopardy.

Kupp rewrote the franchise books by grabbing 145 catches with 1,947 yards. He also scored 16 touchdowns and became the league leader in all three major receiving categories.

Nacua looks like he's already threatening those marks.

He's averaging 10.5 catches per game. He'll surpass the 175 receptions mark if he stays healthy. Nacua is hitting an average of 125.75 yards per game as well -- which will make him the NFL's first 2,000-yard receiver at this rate. He's on pace for 2,137 yards by season's end.

Count St. Brown as one believer Nacua will break the single-season receptions and yards mark.
