Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports recently selected his one takeaway for each NFL team following offseason programs. For the Jacksonville Jaguars, Sullivan’s takeaway was that the addition of wide receiver Dyami Brown was an “underrated” one.
“The club signed him to a one-year, $10 million deal back in March, and the 25-year-old has been turning heads this offseason with his ability not only to stretch the field, but also developing his route tree,” wrote Sullivan.

Both Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence have had high praise for Brown and his play during offseason programs.
With his speed, Brown adds another vertical presence to the Jaguars‘ offense, but he can also get the ball on designed touches near the line of scrimmage or on quick throws in space where his YAC abilities can be on display.
Along with his speed and the playmaking that comes with that, Coen has been impressed with Brown’s route-running ability with some of the “daggers and in-cuts” he’s been tasked with running.
Brown’s 308 receiving yards during the 2024 regular season were a career high for him. However, he would add another 229 yards to that total in Washington’s three postseason games.

As GM James Gladstone described earlier this offseason, the Jaguars view Brown as an ascending player, especially within Coen’s offense.
“Man, I’ve been super impressed with him,” Lawrence said of Brown during minicamp. “His speed. Obviously, he is a threat down the field, which is important as a receiver who can stretch the field. But also, he’s a really, really smart football player.
“He always has a feel for the zone, like where to sit, where to throttle, kind of those voids. I just think he’s really smart, and I’m really excited, adding him to the offense, to the weapons that we already have. It’s exciting.”
