A.J. Brown was traded to the Eagles at the NFL draft in April and signed a four-year, $100 million extension after three highly productive seasons with the Titans, which included a Pro Bowl selection in 2020.

Brown is known for being a tough, physical, tackle-breaking and contested catch beast. He is a physical specimen. Brown stands at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds. He is not quite as big or as fast as T.O. was, but he is the best receiver the Eagles have had since him. He runs with power and to contact. His physicalality will excite fans.

Brown has built a good rapport with his friend QB Jalen Hurts. He finds a way to make catches that Eagles receivers in recent years wouldn’t, even if he’s covered or the pass is somewhat off target. He is the type of player who can bail out a quarterback. His presence helps fellow WR DeVonta Smith. Smith had a fantastic rookie year and now paired with Brown, gives the Eagles two elite receivers.

Brown had 185 catches for 2,995 yards and 24 touchdowns in his three years with the Tennessee Titans. He is one of the reasons to be excited about this year’s Eagles team.
