After losing Nelson Agholor in free agency this offseason, the Raiders needed to add a veteran receiver to their extremely young corps. But instead of chasing Kenny Golladay or JuJu Smith-Schuster, they decided to add an older veteran in John Brown.
Brown had a bit of a down season in Buffalo last year, catching just 33 passes for 458 yards and three touchdowns as he dealt with injuries. But in 2019, he was a borderline Pro Bowl player for the Bills, totaling 1,067 yards and six touchdowns.
In a recent article by Pro Football Focus, they ranked all 32 wide receiver units heading into the 2021 season.
