TE Hunter Henry on WR A.J. Brown: “Just being around him for a week, I think he’ll fit into the locker room really, real

What happened: Tight end Hunter Henry offered an early endorsement of wide receiver A.J. Brown, telling reporters that after only a week around him he expects Brown to settle in quickly. "Just being around him for a week, I think he'll fit into the locker room really, really well," Henry said. The remarks came during the team's offseason program.

Why it matters: Early chemistry reads carry weight in the offseason, when a new pass-catching group is still finding its footing ahead of the 2026 season. An endorsement from a veteran like the same Hunter Henry slated for minicamp interviews this week signals Brown is integrating smoothly with the established core.

What to watch: Watch whether the early rapport carries into mandatory minicamp and training-camp reps, and how quickly Brown builds timing with the quarterback room.
