Yahoo Sports NFL on A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown's connection with Drake Maye still developing in complex Patriots system.

A.J. Brown, acquired via trade (first- and fifth-round picks to Philadelphia), has been fairly quiet through four practices in the Patriots' famously complex system under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The source notes that his connection with starting quarterback Drake Maye is developmental and that four practices are not enough time to build chemistry; the goal is to be functional by the regular season. The Patriots are trying to get Brown and fellow X-receiver Kayshon Boutte on the field together in select packages.
