A.J. Brown Sends Heartfelt Thanks After WR1 Ranking, Eagles Fans Feel the Love

Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown is soaking in the appreciation after being ranked the NFL’s No. 1 wide receiver by Pro Football Focus (PFF) for the 2025 season — and he's making sure the fans feel appreciated, too.

WR1 Honors and a Message from the Heart

Brown, who earned the top spot thanks to his dominant performance against single coverage and consistent production over the past three seasons, shared a heartfelt message on social media:
"I don’t take this for granted. I play hard because I feel the energy y’all give me. Appreciate all the love. Let’s keep rising.”

The 27-year-old has now eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in five of his six NFL seasons and continues to prove his place among the league’s elite.

Boost to Eagles Offense – and Fantasy Stocks

Brown’s elite form adds fuel to the Eagles' Super Bowl aspirations and pushes him into must-draft territory for 2025 fantasy football leagues. His ranking also impacts key betting markets:

• NFL Super Bowl odds now favor the Eagles slightly more with a WR1-caliber weapon.

For those using best NFL betting apps, Brown’s props (TDs, Yards) are trending upward.

Fantasy GMs are labeling him a top-5 fantasy football sleeper if others still undervalue him.

Looking to lock in early odds on the Eagles offense? Now might be the time, as Brown’s chemistry with Jalen Hurts looks stronger than ever.

Fan Reactions and Rival Fire

While Eagles Nation lit up with pride, fans of other teams had mixed reactions.
Some questioned the WR1 ranking, with comments like “He ain’t top 5” surfacing online. But diehard Eagles fans clapped back fast — and so did neutral analysts:

“If you disagree with this, you don’t know ball,” one comment read. “He’s the most complete receiver in the league.”

As debates rage on, Brown’s humility and gratitude have only elevated his likability in Philly.

More Than Just Numbers

Beyond stats, Brown’s connection with the city and team culture is deep. He’s not just a receiver — he’s a leader. And for a locker room driven by Jalen Hurts’ quiet fire and Brown’s relentless energy, that matters more than rankings.
