Daily News | ‘I’m one of the top guys in the league’: Eagles introduce A.J. Brown, who boasts strong relationship with QB Jalen Hurts
New Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown smiles on Monday, may 2, 2022., during an introduction press conference at the NovaCare Complex in Philadelphia, Pa.Back in 2015, Jalen Hurts attempted to recruit fellow high school senior A.J. Brown to attend Alabama with him. As the wide receiver weighed his college options, Hurts aggressively got in his ear, but the quarterback’s efforts came to no avail.
Brown continued: “I’m one of the top guys in the league. I’m confident in how I play and what I bring to the table. I’m glad the Eagles believe in me.” The Eagles led the NFL in rushing last season, so this should serve as familiar territory for Brown, who played with the 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Titans running back Derrick Henry. The Eagles’ run-first formula will likely carry over into the upcoming season based on team philosophy and roster makeup.
Of course, Brown’s ceiling is only as high as his quarterback’s. Hurts is now surrounded by multiple weapons, a strong offensive line, and a potent rushing attack. Hurts has proved his ability as a dual-threat quarterback; he broke the franchise record for most rushing touchdowns in a single season. But he’s shown limitations as a passer.
Such is a testament to Hurts’ ability to raise those around him. While there are lingering questions about his traits as a passer and whether he can develop into a franchise quarterback, Hurts has proved a good teammate and team captain. Brown is just the most recent example. Following nearly every offseason transaction the Eagles have made, each player has described Hurts as one of the first players to reach out and express his excitement.
“I just want my work to be appreciated, that’s pretty much it,” he said. “There was no explanation [from the Titans]. They were just sorry things couldn’t work out, and it’s a business. Things happen and you move on. I appreciate the Titans and everything they’ve given me. There’s no bad blood with the Titans ... they got my career started.
