John Brown

Brown's 2016 campaign was beset by health concerns, whether it was a concussion during the preseason or the midseason discovery of a sickle-cell trait. Fatigue was seemingly a byproduct of the latter issue, and nine games with one or fewer catches led to career lows in catches (39), targets (72), receiving yards (517) and touchdowns (two). The output was a far cry from his 1,000-yard season as a second-year pro in 2015, but Brown may have been the victim of a cyst instead. Indeed, after the procedure to remove it, "I was back to normal," he said. "Since they found out the situation, my body has been feeling better. I am doing the usual, which I couldn't do when I was going through this process." If he's back to normal in the fall, Brown would provide Carson Palmer with another reliable weapon in the passing attack behind Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson.
