Pat McAfee posted a training camp video Saturday of A.J. Brown working with Drake Maye, asking how many touchdowns the star receiver might rack up this season. The popular sports analyst who was once an NFL punter predicted Brown could "go rather HAM" under new play-caller Josh McDaniels.
The clip turned into a fan referendum.

In A.J. Brown's final season in Philadelphia, he caught 78 passes for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. Those numbers came despite public frustration over the Eagles' passing scheme and locker-room tension that spilled onto social media. New England acquired him in June for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder.
Quarterback Drake Maye described the early chemistry as easy.
ESPN analyst Tim Hasselbeck said Maye has never had a receiver with Brown's size, physicality and catch radius. He said that talent alone can simplify reads and take pressure off perfect execution, calling it a difference-maker for a quarterback already coming off a runner-up MVP season.
