'Electric potential' — Packers expected to add another weapon to the wide receiver room ahead of the 2025 season

A 22-year-old receiver, Brown played two seasons at West Virginia and two at Houston (where he played alongside Golden) before transferring to Miami for his final year of eligibility. His best college season came in 2023 at Houston, when he had 62 catches for 815 yards and three touchdowns. Last year with the Hurricanes, Brown had 36 receptions for 509 yards and two scores. Drops were a problem for him. This is what Dane Brugler, from The Athletic, wrote about him on The Beast:

"Brown has the speed and stride manipulation to be a field-stretching weapon and the electric potential to force missed tackles in open space. He has adequate tracking skills, although his play strength mid-route and at the catch point is a concern (more drops than touchdown catches in college). Overall, Brown doesn't play with confidence running the full route tree, but he is straight-line explosive with the acceleration to separate vertically or horizontally. He has a promising yet unseasoned skill set, reminiscent of a Dyami Brown-type of target." — Dane Brugler.

With Christian Watson hurt and expected to miss the start of the regular season, it makes sense for the Packers to add another vertical threat—even though Brown will only compete for a roster spot at best, maybe for a practice squad spot in a more realistic outcome.

General manager Brian Gutekunst made sure to reinforce the wide receiver room this offseason with several additions. The most notable ones were in the draft, with Matthew Golden in the first round and Savion Williams in the third . The team also added veteran Mecole Hardman and Jadon Janke in free agency. Green Bay will have to make a corresponding move, but before that happens, they have 13 receivers on the roster.
