Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is heading into his seventh NFL season following his team's Super Bowl LIX title in 2024-25.

Brown put forth yet another impressive campaign this past season, reeling in 67 catches for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns — marking his fifth NFL season with at least 1,000 yards and seven touchdown grabs.

The NFL recognized Brown's elite play on Monday, naming him the No. 29 overall player on the 2025 NFL Top 100 list.

"A big contributor to the Eagles’ regular season success and Super Bowl run, Brown has been a reliable target for Jalen Hurts since he's arrived in Philadelphia," Christian Gonzales writes on NFL.com. "Brown was the engine that kept Philadelphia’s season afloat with his consistency and deep-threat ability. Ever since Brown was traded to Philly, the Eagles wideout has recorded three-straight 1,000-yard seasons, and now he locks in his third consecutive Top 100 appearance."

The Eagles reacted to this news with a post on social media.

"AYYY-OOO joins the Top 100 list at No. 29," the team wrote on X.

Brown clearly has the respect of his NFL peers around the league.

"When the ball is in his hands, he's a playmaker," Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram said in the NFL's Top 100 video. "His natural ability to just make a play after the catch is really impressive. It's something I study and I try to emulate."
