A.J. Brown (11): Brown is a proven perimeter receiver capable of lining up in the X-position and taking on opposing No.1 cornerbacks. Even at this stage in his career, he still has the speed, catch radius, football IQ, route-running prowess and physicality to become a three-down player right out of the gate — and his training camp performance already looked the part.

A.J. Brown is Patriots' first true WR1 since 2019, three-down capable weapon for Drake Maye.

A.J. Brown is a proven perimeter receiver capable of lining up in the X-position and taking on opposing No. 1 cornerbacks. Even at this stage in his career, he still has the speed, catch radius, football IQ, route-running prowess and physicality to become a three-down player right out of the gate; his training camp performance already looked the part. He can be seen as the Patriots' first pure WR1-caliber wideout since Josh Gordon's brief stint with the organization in 2018 and 2019. A top-tier wide receiver in the NFL, Brown will be a premier weapon for quarterback Drake Maye this season and beyond.
