While it’s no secret that AJ Dillon is BC’s best player on offense, junior quarterback Anthony Brown will be the most important player this season. If Brown can keep opposing defenses honest with an effective passing game, Dillon will have a lot more room to mount a dark horse Heisman campaign.
Overall, Brown was solid in his first two seasons as an Eagle. At times, such as last year’s 305 yard, 5 TD, 0 INT performance at Wake Forest, he looked like a top tier quarterback, capable of taking command of the game.
