A.J. Brown

Wide Receiver · Ole Miss

Eagles receiver and Super Bowl LIX champion, the only WR in franchise history with four straight 1,000-yard seasons.

A.J. Brown's 2025 season ended with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns. The catch totals were down from his 2023 peak, but the team accomplishment was the headline. The Week 17 win over Buffalo gave him his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season, a first in Eagles history at the wide receiver position.

Path to the league

Two-time first-team All-SEC at Ole Miss. Titans took him 51st overall in 2019. Three productive seasons in Tennessee before a 2022 trade to Philadelphia for the No. 18 pick. Signed a four-year, $100 million extension immediately after the trade. The Howie Roseman deal that defined the modern Eagles.

Career highlights

Super Bowl LIX champion. Three-time Pro Bowler. 2023 first-team All-Pro. 1,496 receiving yards in 2023, his career best. First receiver in Eagles franchise history with four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Career: 8,029 receiving yards across seven seasons.

2025 season recap

1,003 yards on 78 catches, seven touchdowns. The Eagles' offense ran more through Saquon Barkley than through the passing game, which capped Brown's volume. His seven touchdowns tied for the team lead. Caught three passes for 43 yards and a 12-yard touchdown in the Super Bowl LIX win over Kansas City.

What to watch in 2026

Philadelphia drew the easiest first-place schedule in football, which should produce more positive game scripts and more passing volume. Brown is under contract through 2029. He turns 29 in June. The hardest December run on his schedule (Seattle, Houston, at San Francisco) lines up exactly with when he typically peaks each season.
