Footballguys on A.J. Brown
From the article
A.J. Brown didn't join the Patriots until June, but he made an immediate impression on Drake Maye: "A.J.'s been awesome . . . You just gotta throw it near him, and he'll make a play." Brown finished as a top-20 receiver all four seasons in Philadelphia, with top-5 PPR finishes in 2022 and 2023, and posted 78 catches, 1,003 yards, and seven touchdowns last year in just 15 games.
STACKED’s take
Brown's Maye connection and deep-threat elite status support WR8 draft position.
Brown joined the Patriots in June and made an immediate impression on Drake Maye, who said "A.J.'s been awesome . . . You just gotta throw it near him, and he'll make a play." Brown finished as a top-20 receiver all four seasons in Philadelphia, with top-5 PPR finishes in 2022 and 2023, and posted 78 catches, 1,003 yards, and seven touchdowns last year in just 15 games. He should easily lead New England in targets on a team coming off a 14-3 season and a Super Bowl trip. Maye had the NFL's fifth-highest deep-throw rate and second-highest explosive-play rate and air-yards-per-attempt rate last year, and Brown's 33 receptions on throws 25-plus yards downfield are tied with George Pickens for the most in the NFL over the past four years. The combination of skill sets, scheme, and Maye's trust in Brown positions him for elite production.
