Brown on Jalen Hurts: Nothing happened, you just drift away sometimes"},"content":{"rendered":"

Wide receiver A.J. Brown\u2019s final season with the Eagles featured a lot of talk about his dissatisfaction with the team\u2019s offense and the nature of his relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts. <\/p>\n

Brown weighed in on the latter topic during an interview with Maria Taylor after Monday\u2019s long-awaited trade to the Patriots. Brown said he doesn\u2019t understand why there was so much attention paid to his relationship with Hurts, but acknowledged that the two men are \u201cnot as close as we once were\u201d by the end of their final season together. <\/p>\n

The receiver insisted \u201cthat didn\u2019t stop anything\u201d the team was trying to do on the field and said there was no particular incident that led to the change. <\/p>\n

\u201cNothing happened, people just grow apart<\/a>,\u201d Brown said. \u201cNothing happened between me and him, or our families, wives, anything. Nothing like that ever happened. Life happens and you just look up sometimes and you just you find yourself drifting away and that\u2019s fine. And I think both parties accepted that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown said he wants Hurts to do well and \u201caccomplish everything his heart desires,\u201d but he\u2019ll no longer have a hand in helping Hurts or the Eagles reach any of their goals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wide receiver A.J.
