Footballguys on A.J. Brown

Wood's WR5 ranking suggests Brown has No. 1 overall upside under McDaniels.

Jason Wood ranks A.J. Brown as WR5 versus consensus WR8 (ADP 7.0). Brown ranked 7th, 10th, 11th, and 12th on a per-game basis in four seasons in Philadelphia despite playing on a team that averaged 511 pass attempts. The Patriots' offense under Josh McDaniels has averaged 596 attempts per season, and McDaniels' quarterback led the league in completion rate and yards per attempt simultaneously while playing for a head coach Brown considers a father figure. Wood states there's not another receiver he thinks has as much opportunity to deliver a No. 1 overall season than Brown in 2026, with odds of adjusting ranked LOW.
