Gronkowski Calls A.J. Brown Patriots' Super Bowl X Factor After 2-Pick Trade

Rob Gronkowski said A.J. Brown is the upgrade that can push New England back into Super Bowl contention after the Patriots acquired him from Philadelphia.
The deal sent a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder to the Eagles, ending months of trade rumors and giving the reigning AFC champions a new No. 1 receiver.
Brown arrives after four straight 1,000-yard seasons and steps into a larger role with Stefon Diggs gone after one year in New England.
Josh McDaniels recently called Brown the closest thing he has seen to Gronkowski because of his forceful, contested-catch style, while Gronkowski compared the move's impact to New England's 2007 addition of Randy Moss.
