4. AJ Brown’s Third Quarter Catch vs Jaguars (Week 12): Watch here
AJ Brown didn’t light the NFL Combine on fire in 2019 with an official 4.49 40-yard dash time but plays like these show just how quick Brown actually is on the football field.
First of all, this is an awesome route from Brown. Being shadowed by AJ Boye, Brown sells like he’s going to keep running up the field to perfection before cutting towards the middle at the right time to create a pocket of separation between Bouye and the covering linebackers.
But it’s after the catch where Brown’s elite game-speed shines. Bouye stays in pursuit of Brown as the receiver begins to cut upfield, only to get burned when Brown picks up speed.
But to Bouye’s credit, Brown outclassed an entire army of Jaguars defenders with his speed on his way to the endzone. The only Jacksonville player with the angle to potentially bring Brown down was safety Jarrod Wilson, who was taken down with a great downfield block from Corey Davis (huge shoutout to Corey Davis).
From there, Brown coasts into the endzone to celebrate a 65-yard touchdown.
