New York Jets 2019 NFL Draft Profile: WR A.J. Brown

A native of a Starkville, Mississippi, 21-year-old A.J. Brown has shined over the past few years playing his collegiate ball at Ole Miss and has emerged as one of the top wide receiver prospects entering the 2019 NFL Draft.

Excelling at both football and baseball at Starkville High School, Brown became only the second player after Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray to play in both the Under Armour All-America Football Game and the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game.

In fact, Brown committed to play both football and baseball at Ole Miss and was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 19th Round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
