AJ Brown’s sole desire is to get his hands on the football.
Even as the Philadelphia Eagles maintained a substantial lead over the Minnesota Vikings, the Eagles’ beleaguered wide receiver still yearned for more opportunities, which had been in short supply on that Thursday night.
Cameras captured a moment where head coach Nick Sirianni had to intervene to pacify Brown, who was seen venting his frustration at Jalen Hurts on the sidelines.
Watch below:
At the time of this outburst, Brown had only secured three receptions for a mere 17 yards. In contrast, just the previous week, he had hauled in seven catches for 79 yards but had yet to make it to the end zone.
“I think everybody wants to make plays, and everybody wants to contribute,” Hurts said, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus. “I have no worry about him. He’s a great player, a great teammate, a great friend, and we’ll do anything and everything to win.”
In his inaugural season with the Philadelphia Eagles, A.J. Brown’s performance couldn’t have been any better. Brown had been the prized acquisition of the previous offseason, and he wrapped up his first year with the Eagles by setting a franchise record for receiving yards in a single season, amassing an impressive 1,496 yards.
He concluded the season with impressive statistics, boasting 88 catches, 1,496 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns, making it an unforgettable first season with the Eagles.
