A.J. Brown is considered one of the top wide receivers in this year's NFL Draft class, so, naturally, he is drawing a heck of a lot of interest from teams around the league.
Right now, Brown is focused on meeting with NFC East clubs, as he just finished a visit with the New York Giants and will be sitting down with the Washington Redskins on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The University of Mississippi product, who recently proclaimed that he is the No. 1 wide out in the draft, is coming off of a phenomenal junior campaign in which he hauled in 85 receptions for 1,320 yards and six touchdowns.
Brown arrived at Mississippi in 2016, and in his freshman year, he was relatively quiet, catching 29 passes for 412 yards and a couple of scores. The following season, however, Brown broke out, snaring 75 balls for 1,252 yards while reaching the end zone 11 times.
The Giants and Redskins are both in need of wide receivers, as New York traded star wide out Odell Beckham Jr. to the Cleveland Browns and Washington lost Jamison Crowder to the New York Jets via free agency.
The Giants own a couple of picks in the first round of the draft, having their own selection at No. 6 and also laying claim to the 17th overall pick courtesy of the Beckham trade with the Browns.
Meanwhile, the Redskins have the 15th pick.
Both New York and Washington also seem most interested in drafting a quarterback, but if Brown is available at No. 15 or No. 17, it will be interesting to see which direction the teams go, especially considering the Giants will probably take their signal-caller at No. 6.
