guys who are friends,
for whatever reason college or they work out together. They
know each other. They're finding a way to force their
paths. Together. We saw with Davante Adams, and Derek Carr.
And now we see with AJ Brown and Jalen hurts. Very good friends.
Now, teammates. Here's AJ Brown from yesterday, talking about
his relationship with Jalen hurts.
It started.
He was recruiting me to Alabama
on
nachos Ole Miss, but we stayed in contact
this entire time. We became really close friends. Did you
guys ever talk about like playing together? I mean, when
you were working out, it's just like a week. We
know for sure, for sure who
in the middle of throwing session.
Jaden says, going to ask him to trade for me and we just
laughing and joking. And we had no idea that this would happen.
So what do you think?
Oh, I see a guy who is
talented. It believes in himself,
has a strong arm. He's on time
and this is a lot coming from me. This all the times that we
worked out together. You know,
I think the sky's the limit for, I'm gonna go to bed phone
every Sunday,
he knows because he's my friend, you know.
At brings a new element into the relationship and it shows
a level of confidence in jail and hurt. Yeah, that person.
That
makes me think the Eagles view him a lot differently than they
did. You know, last year. I thought it was. Let's give me
your and see what happens. He did enough for them to say,
let's give them another year and see what happens
for them to go out and get the guy. He wanted
to get the guy, he wanted this feels different than the to
a tongue of eylau and no excuses 2022. This is,
we're getting the guy. You wanted to help you be the best
player you can be. So we don't have to be
A Baltimore Ravens, run base team. They gravitated to run
based last year because that was their best play. Right?
Credit to Nick suriani for recognizing, the unique
composition of the players on offense. That's what he needed
to do,
but they obviously don't want
to do that. They don't want
to be one dimensional and they're not paying AJ Brown all
that money for him to block
plain and simple, you know, they're going to be throwing
the ball his way. They're gonna be getting the ball in his
hands and let him do his thing.
It gets scary combination. I mean, they write they go into
like, what was this? The conversation of. This is
the best duo of receivers in football. You could throw that
in there Devante Smith and AJ Brown. I mean, Demonte Smith's
only going to get better. He was coming on
strong at the end of the year.
He was a, he's awesome. He can be a superstar
but I think one had we saw and I got to talk to Nick syriana
a little bit, you know at the combine where all he did was
Rave about Jalen
hurts and it was real it wasn't like
You could tell they really believe in the person and you
can see why here, you know, he's, he's got a personality in
a way about him that, you know, the team gravitates towards.
We've heard nothing. But that really ever since he's gotten
there and now AJ Brown, and on top of that, yeah, there's
value in some of the stuff you talk about intangibles,
right? That's genuine hurts. Has that and he gives a
team confidence the organization confidence because
he's he's confident in himself and he approaches it like such
a And all that they all root for him because of that too.
But at the same time I do think it does the same thing as Tua.
I do
I think it's you know as much as they want it to work. They
can't be totally just 100%. Oh, wow. He's the guy for sure.
I think there's great. Hope they wanted. He's got a lot of
the things they need and want but
this is still going to be a year where it's going to go,
wait. Our whole line is great. It's great. And we got a good
running game and we got a good tight. Adam. We got
unbelievable. Purrs, now, it's going to
show itself through him one way, or another here, a little
bit. And I do think it'll be a little bit of a Telltale sign
or year for him because of the things, you kind of laid out.
I agree with you. But, but yeah,
if they throw jamming hurts overboard after this year, they
got a problem with AJ Brown. That's the problem. I think
I like jail in hertz is far safer. In Philly than to his in
my sorrow to a non. Well, I know she was gratuitous, but
it's a fair apples-to-apples.
I got you. I totally get you but I think that's where
the year old determined to. Now if he throws the ball over AJ
Browns, head 25 times when he would have been open for four
hundred more yards. AJ Brown might be like, you're a good
friend, but
I'll see you on another team. Will stay in touch. All right,
buddy. We need a new cat. Remember. Remember remember
when you're cutting me to Alabama, but I chose
Mississippi. This kind of the same.
Don't be sorry. We're friends. We can't be teammates.
