FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The proverbial red carpet was rolled out on Tuesday at Gillette Stadium for A.J. Brown’s arrival. From the moment he arrived at the Patriots’ facility to his introductory press conference, the focus was firmly on the three-time second-team All-Pro pass catcher.
“I’m still in awe,” said Brown of his excitement to join the Patriots, whom he grew up rooting for. “I’m trying to adjust. Walking up the hill with the uniform on, I was like, ‘Man, this is real.’ And I caught myself at one point in practice not paying attention because I was just thinking, ‘Dang, I’m a Patriot.’”
