Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Dyami Brown experienced a turbulent season on the field, but still feels he learned plenty from his time with the team.
Brown has reportedly signed a one-year, $3 million deal to re-join the Commanders in free agency.
“It was a great experience for me,” Brown said of being in Jacksonville in 2025 via the Commanders.
Brown signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Jaguars last offseason, joining the team after posting a terrific postseason with the Commanders. The team hoped Brown’s potential could be unlocked given more playing time and within head coach Liam Coen’s offensive system.
Before joining the Jaguars ahead of the 2025 season, Brown posted 14 catches for 229 yards and a touchdown with the Commanders in three playoff games. Before that, Brown had caught just 59 passes for 784 yards and four scores in four years with Washington during the regular season.
Brown’s potential, including his dynamic downfield speed made Jacksonville excited to add him to their arsenal.
However, after beginning the year as one of the team’s starters at wideout, Brown’s role quickly eroded and he was a healthy scratch for a couple of games during the regular season. Brown’s year was also hampered due to a lingering shoulder injury sustained early in the year.
In 2025, Brown caught just 20 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown. He had six carries for 30 yards, often given the ball on an end-around to further exploit his speed.
Still, even with a down year by statistical standards, Brown feels he got a lot out of his time in Jacksonville.
Dyami Brown learned plenty despite adversity with Jaguars
Brown’s season in Jacksonville may not have gone as planned, but he learned plenty about himself while in Jacksonville.
“Went out there, I learned a lot. Got to learn from some people, and I think Jacksonville was a place where I had to see myself grow in a different way,” he explained.
Brown was surrounded by a host of talent at the receiver position. The team had just selected second-overall pick, WR/corner Travis Hunter, while second-year WR Brian Thomas Jr. was coming off of a dynamic rookie season in 2024. The team’s quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, also experienced a jump in 2025.
“I kind of understand the game a little bit more than what I have in the past. I took the steps to learn from other people like Jacobi Myers, [Brian Thomas Jr.] out there, and I had some people that helped me around even the quarterback Trevor [Lawrence], just learning from him, they kind of took the game into another level and a different viewpoint for me,” said Brown.
Lawrence, to his point, experienced a career year in Jacksonville under head coach Liam Coen. Lawrence posted 4,007 yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last year.
Brown explained during his time in Jacksonville he experienced adversity both mentally and physically.
