Green Bay Packers: Top 10 players in 2019 NFL Draft
9. A.J. Brown, Wide Receiver, Ole Miss
A.J. Brown has only played one season at Ole Miss, but it was an impactful one. In 2017, he recorded 75 receptions for 1252 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 16.7 yards per catch average was ranked No. 10 in the SEC.
More impressively, he ranked No. 2 in the SEC in receptions, No.1 in yards and No.1 in receiving touchdowns. He also ranked tenth in the entire NCAA in reception yards.
Brown might be hurt by the departure of his quarterback, Shea Patterson. Patterson decided to transfer to Michigan this season after Ole Miss was given a two-year bowl ban after their former head coach Hugh Freeze was suspended from the NCAA.
Hopefully, Patterson’s departure won’t hurt Brown too badly, but if he can put up another huge season in 2019, look out!
