The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions after their triumphant and dominant victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Running back Saquon Barkley, who unlocked the passing game, and quarterback Jalen Hurts, who took home Super Bowl MVP honors, are the most heralded members of the offense.
However, one Eagles coach is making sure that another key member of the offense does not go unforgotten for his part in the Eagles’ success.
“In my opinion, he’s the best receiver in the NFL,” Eagles wide receiver coach Aaron Moorehead said, per The Athletic’s Zach Berman.
“If you look at his yards per target, it would tell you he should, if not be that guy, he should at least be in the conversation,” Moorehead said. “But I do think the guy, from my perspective, is the best one-on-one player in the NFL. I can’t wait to see what this year brings for him.”
Fans reacted to the statement on social media.
“Used to be him and Chase. Now it’s gonna be Chase and Nabers. But AJ top 3 still,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Moorehead could call him a three legged ballerina…wouldn’t make it so,” one fan added.
“Cool that’s a sweet gesture. It’s just not true,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if Brown can make good on his coach’s lofty assessment.
