Julian Edelman Has 'Monstrous' Prediction for AJ Brown Before Patriots Debut
Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman delivered a "monstrous" prediction for AJ Brown's first season.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will have a clear No. 1 receiver option in AJ Brown when the team kicks off their 2026 season, according to NFL analyst and former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. Edelman expressed his high expectations for Brown, who will be utilized as a crucial receiving weapon in the Patriots' offense under coordinator Josh McDaniels.
Edelman noted that McDaniels has a history of maximizing the potential of new receivers, and he believes Brown will have a "monstrous year" with the Patriots. Brown, who recorded 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games with the Eagles during the 2025 season, is poised to surpass those numbers with his new team.
The Patriots' rookie quarterback will make his Patriots debut in a Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks, which is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
