Even more impressive is the fact that he's having such a great season coming off an season-ending injury in 2024. He (and Horn)  are really living up to their draft slot...and that's a good thing for the team and fans alike.

I wonder if he'll receive any consideration for COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR. Because of the knee injury, D. Brown practically missed all of the 2024 season.

He was a Hurney first rounder.... No idea why anyone would expect differently.

Still boggles my mind that there are people who tear him down.

Nope, they have the pitchforks out and torches lit for XL. Yet another guy in his second season who is the worst Panther to put on a jersey due to him not being another player they wanted to draft, didn't hit the ground running like a Jamar Chase, and any positives(blocking/getting open/running off coverage), are looked at as general nothing burgers. Even though traditionally a WR takes till year three to get it, according to huddle opinions, they should find an exit strategy now.

Honestly, in his second year, I spent a lot of time wondering if he was going to be the guy.

That should always remind me that none of us are a finished product. I went from questioning his value then to where I am now in realizing that he is a franchise cornerstone that can completely set the tone for our entire defense.

And folks, I believe he's feared by other teams. Especially after last Sunday. He's a monster out there. Thankfully, he's our monster. (I hate saying that because by all accounts, he's a wonderful fellow).

Yeah I ate my crow like ~2 years ago.  Dude's been a beast for a while now.  I made the mistake of expecting him to have a huge impact right away, because he was billed as a full grown man as a rookie.  But it still takes time to adjust.

Would be a pretty tough sell after the Rams game...
