After missing Philadelphia's postseason loss with an injury, the wide receiver has reached his offseason goals.
arrived at the Florida Atlantic University training facility in Boca Raton, Florida, in late January, about three weeks after the Eagles' 2023 campaign had ended in collapse., he was forced out of the game after being targeted on a short pass over the middle in the first quarter and falling awkwardly. Tests revealed he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee -- an injury that cemented that both his team and personal goals would not be met.
"I think ," Brown said during minicamp earlier this month. "I always ask myself at the end of the season: Can I work harder? What else can I do? Those are the questions I ask myself and the answer is always 'Yes.'" With the injury behind him, the training ramped up. There were no major overhauls to the workout routine -- after all, Brown eclipsed 1,400 receiving yards for the second straight season in '23 and was one of the most dominant players in football. He actually got faster in Year 5 of his NFL career, topping out at speeds north of 23 miles per hour thanks partly to a regimen that includes acceleration drills, sled pulls and chain pulls. He hit those numbers once again this offseason.
Brown, now 26, saw his offseason work pay dividends on the field this spring. According to coach Nick Sirianni, Brown had the most catches and the highest catch rate on the team through the organized team activities.
