Patriots' new WR1 should elevate Drake Maye and open up perimeter playmakers.
A.J. BrownWR
Brown joins the Patriots as Drake Maye's true WR1 after a trade from Philadelphia. As a classic "X" receiver with superb ball skills and route-running ability, the three-time Pro Bowler can consistently win against 1-on-1 or double coverage, forcing defensive coordinators to utilize creative tactics to neutralize his impact. This should create free access on the perimeter for complementary playmakers like Romeo Doubs, leading to more big-play opportunities in the passing game. Despite exhibiting diva-like behavior during his final season with the Eagles, Brown remains a premier playmaker with an extensive track record of stellar production.
