In Roob’s Eagles Stats: Sorting through the mind-blowing A.J. Brown numbers originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
A.J. Brown’s ongoing brilliance, a unique Quinyon Mitchell-Cooper DeJean achievement, a notable Grant Calcaterra accomplishment and the obligatory Joselio Hanson reference.
It’s this week’s Roob’s Eagles Stats and it’s loaded with stuff you didn’t know and stuff you didn’t know you didn’t know.
Here we go!
1A. Brown’s clinching 40-yard catch from Jalen Hurts in the final moments of the Eagles’ win over the Browns Sunday gave him 116 yards and his 14th 100-yard performance as an Eagle. Incredibly, despite playing only 36 games in an Eagles uniform, Brown is tied for 7th-most 100-yard games in Eagles history behind only Pete Retzlaff (23 in 78 games), Mike Quick (21 in 101 games), DeSean Jackson (21 in 95 games), Harold Carmichael (20 in 171 games) and Tommy McDonald (17 in 76 games) and tied with Pete Pihos (14 in 95 games).

1B. Brown already ranks 22nd in Eagles history with 3,187 receiving yards. He needs only 163 yards to pass Timmy Brown (3,346) and Charlie Smith (3,349) and move into the top 20. If he stays healthy the rest of the year, at his current pace of 88.5 yards per game in two-plus years with the Eagles, he’ll have 4,249 receiving yards at the end of the season, which would put him in 13th place. Only three players in NFL history have had more yards in their first 36 games with a team: Tyreek Hill with the Dolphins (3,703), Odell Beckham Jr. with the Giants (3,528) and Justin Jefferson with the Vikings (3,262).
