What happened: On the third play of full-team drills, Drake Maye looked for A.J. Brown in the low red zone with cornerback Kindle Vildor draped in tight coverage. Brown snatched the ball anyway, and his knack for tight-window grabs was a top takeaway from the session.
Why it matters: The rep is another data point in the developing Maye–Brown connection taking shape this offseason. A young quarterback trusting a physical, contested-catch receiver in the red zone is the kind of timing that carries into the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Brown is listed at 6-1, 226; Vildor at 5-11, 190 — a size mismatch Brown leveraged to win the rep through contact.
What to watch: Watch whether Maye keeps feeding Brown in red-zone reps as offseason practices continue.
