The City of Philadelphia was starving for a star receiver and A.J. Brown has been even better than anyone could have hoped.
In the two years since Howie Roseman’s draft day trade with the Titans, Brown has been nothing short of a superstar with the Eagles. And that’s why it was no shocker when the Eagles signed him to another extension, this one through the 2029 season, this offseason.
Brown isn’t just good. He isn’t just great. He’s already an all-timer.
We are witnessing a potential Hall of Fame receiver in the prime of his career.
In his two seasons with the Eagles, Brown has already had the top two receiving seasons in Eagles history. He broke Mike Quick’s 38-year-old single season record (1,409) in 2022 and then he did it again in 2023:
2022: 88 catches, 1,496 yards, 11 touchdowns
2023: 106 catches, 1,456 yards, 7 touchdowns
Since joining the Eagles in 2022, Brown is third in the NFL in receiving yards and sixth in receiving touchdowns. Here’s a look at the top five in receiving:
1. Tyreek Hill: 3,509
2. CeeDee Lamb: 3,108
3. A.J. Brown: 2,952
4. Justin Jefferson: 2,883
5. Amon-Ra St. Brown: 2,676
Brown’s production was a little uneven in 2023 but he had one of the most incredible stretches we’ve ever seen from an NFL wide receiver when he recorded six straight games with 125+ yards, surpassing a record held by Calvin Johnson…
