Two things to today’s Eagles story:
- ESPN said player source told them this same thing (about tight window throw in zone coverage) back in November. Seems AJ leaked this to the media back in November
- Per @ShaneHaffNFL - Jalen Hurts ranked 8th and 6th in the last 2 seasons in tight window throw rate among QBs with double-digit starts. AJ Brown ranked 2nd and 3rd in the last 2 seasons in yards on tight window throws

There are 30 QBs with more deep passing touchdowns than Patrick Mahomes. There are only 3 QBs with more deep passing attempts🥴
Since AJ Brown became an Eagle...
- Only 6 players have more targets
- Only 4 players have more receiving yards
- Only 3 players have more 100-yard games
- No player has more 1000-yard seasons (tied with 5 others... including his teammate)
- Of the players with more targets, only Travis Kelce has also won a ring
1) That was an incredible trade for the Eagles
2) It is going to be REALLY HARD for AJ Brown to get this level of volume in a new landing spot
Of course he's had legitimate gripes with the offense, especially in 2025, but if he wants to be "used more," it's probably going to have to be on a worse team with worse teammates around him.
Pick No. 98 tonight going to Minnesota in the Jonathan Greenard trade was a compensatory pick the Eagles received for losing free-agent DL Milton Williams in free agency to the Patriots.
