Jalen Hurts’ WR Tells Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson to Step Aside After Clearing Demand for Eagles OC

Wait 5 sec.

The clock was ticking down, the confetti was falling, and the Eagles were on top of the world. Super Bowl LIX wasn’t just a victory—it was validation. And in the middle of it all stood AJ Brown, soaking in the moment. But even with a championship ring on his finger, he wasn’t ready to call himself the best—at least, not just yet.That’s the thing about elite athletes. They’re never satisfied. Brown’s been stacking up numbers, making highlight-reel catches, and proving his worth on the biggest stage. Earlier in the post-season, as the Eagles demolished the Packers 22-10 in the wildcard, AJ Brown stunned everyone. He sat calmly on the sidelines, reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy. The message was simple. Have a clear conscience and mind! Even now that they have won the Super Bowl LIX, Jalen Hurts‘ WR is clear about his standards of the game.During the February 23 episode of the MILLION DOLLAZ WORTH OF GAME show, he was having himself a time. But when the conversation turned to the best receivers in the league, he gave a nod to two other superstars in his position before placing himself third. Respectful? Sure. But don’t mistake it for a lack of confidence—because his next message made it clear.It was a surprise to everyone when Brown said, “If we want to talk about top receivers in the league, I’m definitely going to say Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, then I put myself third. I put myself third now even having the ring cuz you just got to go off of what happened this past year. I was banged up, and I missed four and a half games and my numbers were right with them until the end.” Now that’s some degree of intellectual honesty!AJ Brown ranks himself as the 3rd-best WR in the NFL:1) Justin Jefferson2) Ja’Marr Chase3) HimselfAJ adds that had he not missed 4.5 games, his numbers would’ve been right there with them, and that personally he feels he’s the best WR in the league.(via Million Dollaz… pic.twitter.com/wMh2vJrZPl— Eagles Nation (@PHLEaglesNation) February 24, 2025However, he wasn’t low on confidence. He even gave a subtle warning to the Top 2 receivers, asking them to step aside, as he also called himself the best. AJ Brown added, “Personally speaking for myself, I definitely feel like I’m the best in the league right now.”Ja’Marr Chase failed to take the Bengals into the playoffs. Justin Jefferson‘s Vikings failed to advance past the wildcard losing 9-27. Only AJ Brown & co. were the dominant ones. They even crushed the mighty Chiefs 40-22 in the big game. Let’s compare their 2024  regular season numbers to get a clear idea.NameGamesGames StartedTargetsReceptionsReceiving YardsTouchdownsJa’Marr Chase1716175127170817Justin Jefferson1717154103153310AJ Brown1313976710797Clearly, both Js played well. But AJ had the last laugh. As far as missing 4 games goes, the Eagles WR scoring 10 more TDs in 4 games was a far-fetched dream. The Eagles kept everything realistic. They still do.AJ Brown praises the new Eagles OCAfter Kellen Moore departed to take up the role of Saints HC, the Eagles were in a new fix. HC Nick Sirianni went back to his staff roster and promoted Kevin Patullo to the offensive coordinator position. The fans were critical of the appointment. But AJ Brown cleared the air.During the February 20 episode of the NFL Insiders, the Eagles receiver praised the new OC hire and said, “For our fans, they need to understand everything has to change. I know we just won, but it has to change. We have to get better, and we have to do things different. But I truly feel like it’s a great hire; he already has been involved in almost everything. Him, Kellen (Moore) and Nick (Sirianni) basically called the plays already. So, it’s a great hire, and he’s already familiar with us.“His message is clear. The Eagles know what they’re doing, going through these changes. It’s inevitable. But the more important thing is that they are trying to make changes early so that they have the time to get adjusted to the different schemes of play. After winning the Super Bowl LIX, their confidence is high. Let’s see that inner excellence shine through in 2025, Mr. Brown!The post Jalen Hurts’ WR Tells Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson to Step Aside After Clearing Demand for Eagles OC appeared first on EssentiallySports.
