Retired Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer expressed support for the New England Patriots' recent acquisition of wide receiver A.J. Brown. Speaking on NFL on CBS, Poyer highlighted the potential impact of the trade on the Patriots' offensive performance. He specifically lauded quarterback Drake Maye for his ability to command the offense at a high level while approaching his third year. Poyer noted that the addition of Brown creates defensive challenges, as opponents must decide how to address the receiver's presence alongside the existing run game and team structure.
