Amon-Ra St. Brown plays for an aspiring Super Bowl contender. Perhaps his Detroit Lions will cross paths with Bad Bunny on Feb. 8.

Regardless, the Reggaeton and Latin music artist sparked multiple conversations Sunday as Super Bowl 60's halftime entertainment. And Bunny's future appearance became a topic on the St. Brown Podcast.

The Lions star admitted he and his teammates aren't the most familiar with the Puerto Rican's music. But he's not bashing the choice Apple Music, Live Nation and the NFL made.

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown a Bad Bunny fan?

St. Brown painted a picture of how he and members of the Lions reacted to the Super Bowl decision for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Ca.

"Don't give me wrong, I like Bad Bunny," St. Brown explained to his brother Equanimeous. "But I can't speak for everyone else. I asked some of my teammates about Bad Bunny. They're like 'Bro, I don't know one Bad Bunny song.'"

But he also dove into the topic of American fans looking at this performer.

"As far as American fans, how they're going to like it, I don't know," St. Brown said. "But I know I'll tell you this: There's a bunch of Bad Bunny fans that are outside the United States that are going to be tuning in to the Super Bowl just because he's performing."

St. Brown added: "The NFL is being smart, I guess. You know, they're trying to get more viewers and get way more viewers from different audiences because Bad Bunny is one of the biggest artists in the world right now. I mean, the NFL is playing chess, not checkers."

Lions' Current Chances of Making Super Bowl 60

St. Brown has helped drastically change the culture of Lions football.

Detroit is now one of the few teams holding the best odds of making the big game. The Lions' chances sit at +900 -- handing them the fifth-best betting odds to represent the NFC in the Bay Area come February.

Although two other NFC teams hold higher odds. Division rival the Green Bay Packers are at +375, while the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hold the second-best odds with +550. The Buffalo Bills currently sit at +425 with the best odds.

Detroit and St. Brown are on a three-game winning streak ahead of their Sunday road contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.
