On January 2, 2021, St. Brown announced on his Instagram account that he would be declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft, and was projected by CBS Sports as a late first round pick.[13] After St. Brown worked out at the NFL Combine, the NFL released its report on St. Brown by senior NFL analyst Lance Zierlein.

In their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, St. Brown put up an eight-reception, 64-yard performance with one receiving touchdown.[25] Coincidentally, his touchdown came two minutes before his brother Equanimeous scored a touchdown in the Chicago Bears' season opener (this was his brother's first touchdown as a Bear).[26] In Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, St. Brown became the first player in NFL history to have six straight regular season games with at least eight receptions and at least one touchdown, finishing the game with nine receptions for 116 yards and two touchdowns.[27] The streak began in Week 15 of the 2021 season.

2023 season

In Week 2, against the Seahawks, St. Brown made his first career fumble, which was recovered by the Seahawks.[39] This was one of three turnovers committed by the team that day, resulting in a Lions loss in overtime 37–31. He started the 2023 season with injuries that caused him to miss the fourth quarter of their Week 2 game.[40]

In Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers, St. Brown caught eight passes for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown in a 41–38 win. The game also marks the fourth consecutive game in which St. Brown caught for more than 100 yards.[41] In Week 18 against the Vikings, St. Brown caught a 70-yard touchdown pass, the longest reception of his career.[42]
