“I feel like regardless of how the trade and everything goes down, I feel like me personally, I feel like I’ve won,” he told reporters. “I say that because I changed my family’s life forever. That’s the goal. Especially growing up from where I’m from. Of course I want to do great and accomplish all the great things, but that’s the reason why we play the game.”
Brown led the Eagles in targets, receptions, and yards in Sunday’s win, which happened to come against the team that traded him during the 2022 NFL Draft. Titans’ wideouts caught just four passes for 41 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
The Titans traded Brown to the Eagles for the Nos. 18 and 101 overall picks in the 2022 draft. The Titans would then go on to use the first pick to select Treylon Burks and the second one in a trade to compile more picks—and Brown promptly signed a four-year, $100 million extension with the Birds.
Through 12 games, the young WR has caught 61 of his 96 targets for 950 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Eagles are now 11-1 while the Titans are still 7-5 and in first place in the AFC South.
