How A.J. Brown becomes the Eagles’ alpha receiver right away

Touchdown Wire’s Laurie Fitzpatrick goes to the film to see how A.J. Brown expands the Eagles’ passing game.

Howie Roseman does it again!

Going into the 2022 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles had three first-round picks and turned it into stock for next year, a solid selection in defensive tackle Jordan Davis, and then somehow coming away with one of the top receivers in the NFL.

The Tennessee Titans in a blockbuster trade moved up to the 18th pick in the draft to select Treylon Burks from University of Arkansas, while also trading away Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles.

Brown was Ryan Tannehill’s, and the Titans’ top target. Over three seasons he racked up 3,000 yards from scrimmage, 185 receptions at 16.2 yards per reception, and 24 touchdowns.

Let’s dive into the film and see what Brown adds to the Eagles’ offense — and a receiver room that had been a little light on total talent.
