Patriots safety Kevin Byard III made his pitch for Eagles WR A.J. Brown to come to New England during a recent interview.
"First of all he's a dog, he's a great teammate," Byard said about Brown on CBS on Wednesday. "I've literally watched him grow as a player and a person. He's a phenomenal guy, he's a family man. We actually trained together in Nashville. So I'm going to be the first one to say A.J. I would love for you to come join us in New England."
Byard and Brown played together on the Titans from 2019-21. They also reunited in 2023 when Byard was traded to Philadelphia for the remainder of the 2023 season. He would love to team up with Brown once again in New England.
Byard looked straight at the camera and made his pitch incredibly clear.
