HARRISON TWP., MI – Why build a snowman when you can construct a life-size version of Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in your front yard?

That’s exactly what Jamison Agnello of Harrison Township in Metro Detroit did with the help of his wife and their three kids.

By day, he’s a real estate agent with J Michael Realty in St. Clair Shores. In his spare time, he enjoys creating snow art.

“Whenever we have the right conditions, I try to do something like this,” Agnello told MLive. “If I can squeeze this in after work and get out there with the family, I’m going to try and do it.”

Agnello and his family built the 7 foot tall St. Brown snow sculpture on Saturday, January 11 to reflect his upside down touchdown pose celebration during the November 3rd, 2024 game against the Packers.

Following Friday’s snowfall, Agnello says he barely had enough snow to build it.

“The snow wasn’t even that great, either. It was 30 degrees outside, but we had no clouds. We had great sunshine that was heating the snow up just a little bit so it would pack. We actually had to heat some of the snow in the garage so it would pack better.”

Agnello has built other snow sculptures in his front yard over the years and a huge giraffe sculpture made the news a couple of years ago.

He says he isn’t even really much of a sports watcher, but was inspired to build the St. Brown one following the Lions success this season.

“These last couple of years, just watching coach Dan Campbell get these guys so excited and playing beyond their limits or just exceeding what people expected, it’s just amazing and it’s infectious.”

Agnello says people have already come from far and wide to take photos with the St. Brown snow sculpture, with some even standing on their heads next to it.

He didn’t want to give out his exact address in order to limit the amount of people, but says he loves seeing those who are enjoying it.

“I never thought I would have done a football player out front. The type of stuff I do are Disney characters or animals. We expect neighbors to come by, but there have been a lot of others already stopping over for a look.”
