The New England Patriots acquired A.J. Brown this offseason, a move that Rob Gronkowski likens to the team's past trade for Randy Moss. Gronkowski noted that both players faced challenges in their previous seasons before joining the Patriots, with Brown expressing a desire to play for the team. Moss had a down year prior to his trade, while Brown had over 1,000 receiving yards but struggled with his role. If Brown can replicate Moss's success, it could position the Patriots for a championship run.
