Brown has had some good moments as a short/medium target but he's yet to stand out as a deep threat, which should be part of his appeal. He's also been out-shined by some of the Eagles' other receivers.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
Brown had multiple deep targets from Hurts but failed to convert. On one play, Michael Carter II intercepted Hurts when Brown wasn't expecting the pass and was initially jogging before sprinting once he saw the ball in the air. On another deep attempt, the ball was placed on Brown's hands but he failed to make the catch with Cooper DeJean in tight coverage. The source notes these weren't all Hurts' fault but Brown's execution was lacking.NegativeDepth ChartAug 4, 2026

Brown is part of the Eagles' veteran WR room and is actively mentoring rookie Makai Lemon. Both players share a Lincoln Riley coaching background (Brown at Oklahoma, Lemon at USC), which facilitates their relationship and allows Brown to provide system-specific guidance. Brown praised Lemon's work ethic, attention to detail, toughness, and competitive drive in early training camp.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026
Received a pass over the middle from Hurts that went through Riq Woolen's hands after the cornerback undercut the route; Woolen was in position for a pick that ultimately wasn't made.

Brown has career history of handling heavy usage with triple-digit targets in four consecutive seasons (2020–2023), but his numbers have been trending down in recent years. He would be better suited as a horizontal/vertical stretch role player for the Eagles' receiving corps rather than a true mainstay at the top of the depth chart, making the No. 2 receiver role likely to come down to whether Makai Lemon can hit the ground running.NegativeRoleJul 29, 2026
