Former Super Bowl Champ Calls Patriots-A.J. Brown Trade 'Match Made In Heaven' originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After months of trade rumors, the New England Patriots finally got their man on June 1, trading for star wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft pick and a 2027 fifth-round draft pick.
The trade has been anticipated for months, and many NFL analysts were quick to celebrate it for the Patriots when the news officially broke on Monday.
That includes former Super Bowl champ and current podcaster Ryan Clark, who explained why he loves this trade for New England.
"A.J. Brown is a true No. 1," Clark said on SportsCenter. "You have to feel extremely good about this team... This is a match made in heaven for the New England Patriots, and I think the biggest thing is this: Mike Vrabel knows A.J. Brown's personality... The sky could be the limit."
That's high praise for the reigning AFC champs, who now look even stronger on paper after adding Brown and Romeo Doubs to their receiving corps.
Per Clark's comments, pairing Brown with an elite quarterback like Drake Maye and a tremendous offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels is incredibly exciting for New England's offense, which struggled during the postseason. Reuniting Brown with Vrabel, who coached him for three years with the Tennessee Titans, also makes this a great fit.
Furthermore, Brown already won a Super Bowl with the Eagles, so he knows what it takes to win a championship. Having that kind of veteran leadership could be huge for a young Patriots team that's facing a much harder schedule this year than last year.
