Summary

A.J. Brown has been ranked sixth in Pro Football Focus' list of top NFL wide receivers ahead of the 2026 season. Brown's move from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots has been highlighted as a key transition, especially after a challenging final season with the Eagles. His performance track record includes six 1,000-yard seasons in seven years, and he has dropped only 2.9% of catchable targets in the last two seasons. Brown is expected to play a critical role for rookie quarterback Drake Maye in New England, providing a strong offensive target.
