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.

Brown had a rough practice. He wasn't expecting a pass from Hurts on one play and was initially jogging before looking up and sprinting once he saw the ball in the air, resulting in an interception to Michael Carter II. On another deep attempt, the ball was placed on his hands but he failed to make the catch with Cooper DeJean in tight coverage. Hurts targeted him downfield again but the pass was incomplete.

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.

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.
