Following his offseason trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots, star wide receiver A.J. Brown appears to be thoroughly enjoying his new surroundings. In a recent Instagram post, Brown shared a snapshot alongside Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, accompanied by a series of photos set to the tune of 'Heaven' by Mary Mary.
Brown's final season in Philadelphia was marred by public frustration over his role in the offense, and his rapport with quarterback Jalen Hurts had clearly soured. Now, the three-time Pro Bowler seems revitalized in New England, where he is building a promising connection with Maye.
Key Analysis
ESPN's Mike Reiss noted that Maye and Brown demonstrated 'another step' in their developing chemistry during Friday's training camp practice, connecting on several highlight-reel plays. Maye has expressed a willingness to feed Brown the ball frequently in their inaugural season together.
"Just giving more chances to him. You see with the ball in his hands, what he can do -- intermediate, short, deep. I'm not going to shy away from it, that's how I play," Maye said. "I'm going to keep going at it. It could be the fifth play in a row, I'm going to give him the rock."
