if if if AJ Brown is just in the Mack Hollins role, which was mostly like a Z movement player cuz they lean into his blocking ability, you're getting a much improved receiver even if AJ Brown's in decline in my opinion than what Mack Hollins gave him last year. in the Mack Hollins role, which was mostly like a Z movement player cuz they lean into his blocking ability, you're getting a much improved receiver

A.J. Brown in Hollins' Z-movement role would be significant upgrade despite decline.

Matt Harmon uses Mack Hollins as comparison point for potential A.J. Brown role in 2026 Patriots offense; Hollins functioned primarily as Z movement player leveraging blocking ability rather than traditional X receiver. If A.J. Brown adopts similar Z-movement role, he would provide much-improved receiving talent compared to Hollins' 2025 production, even if A.J. Brown is in decline. Mack Hollins operated as a Z-movement player in the Patriots offense, leveraging his blocking ability. Matt Harmon uses Hollins' 2024 role as a baseline comparison, suggesting A.J. Brown in a similar Z-slot role would be a much improved receiver.
