On the surface, it’s easy to understand the continued frustrations of superstar Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
The NFL is a business, and Brown’s business is catching the football. Five games into the 2025 regular season, he’s only caught 19 passes for 194 yards and a single touchdown. He’s averaging 15 fewer yards per game than No. 2 wideout DeVonta Smith.
It’s one thing for Brown to be feeling unappreciated, vent some frustrations on social media, and state his case to reporters. We’ve been down this road before with Brown — and he’s not wrong; the Eagles won’t be able to continue their current standard of excellence without attacking the defense through the air vertically.
