2026 Outlook
Sixth-round pick from LSU initially viewed as a return specialist, but his training camp work reveals he can contribute as a receiver. Brown ran strong route combinations in early camp and showed NFL-level competitiveness against veteran corners. In a two-minute drill, he hauled in a deep touchdown from QB Spencer Rattler. Veteran CB Martin Emerson praised his confidence and competitiveness; LT Kelvin Banks Jr. noted Brown's ability to run precise routes and make cuts exceeded initial expectations. WR1 Chris Olave has taken Brown under his wing, helping him navigate the mental side of the position and avoid getting too up or down on individual plays. Brown remains confident he can contribute offensively: "I've always been a receiver. I know what I can do, and I try not to let the outside noise get to me."
