Eagles News: NFL insiders are underrating A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith

Execs, coaches, scouts rank the NFL’s top 10 WRs for 2025 - ESPN+
5. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles. Highest ranking: 3 | Lowest ranking: unranked. Age: 28 | Last year’s ranking: 6. It’s odd to see a top-five receiver here tied for 43rd in leaguewide targets last season (97). But those numbers for Brown were more a product of the run-heavy Eagles offense and didn’t affect his high-end ability. Philly was 16-1 while averaging 31.5 points per game with Brown in the lineup last season. Without Brown, the team went 2-2 while averaging 18.0 points per game.
