3. Dyami Brown

Unfortunately for Dyami Brown, fans expect a lot from third-round wide receivers amid Terry McLaurin’s ascension to superstar status.

It would be delusional to expect Brown to hit the ground running like McLaurin did, but fans are right to be disappointed by the rookie’s output, or lack thereof, thus far. Sorry, but eight catches for 81 yards on 20 targets isn’t going to cut it for a prospect who was coming off two dominant seasons in Chapel Hill.

In Brown’s defense, he’s been hampered by a knee injury over the last month, but his start to the season was dreadful, to say the least.

His best game was a three-catch, 34-yard performance in Week 2. If you count Week 7 vs Green Bay, when he played just 10 snaps, the UNC product has four games with less than 20 receiving yards and three in which he failed to log a catch.

The good news for Brown is that a heap of receivers drafted in the middle rounds this past April have disappointed, including Tutu Atwell, Terrace Marshall, D’Wayne Eskridge, Amari Rodgers and Josh Palmer, to name a few.

However, the fact we’re even comparing Brown to those players just encapsulates how his rookie year has gone. Hopefully, he can shake this knee injury and remind fans why Washington spent a Round 3 pick on him in the second half of 2021.
