The playoffs have been a coming-out party for Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown. In the wild-card win over Tampa Bay last weekend, Brown caught five passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. In Saturday’s NFC divisional round win over the Detroit Lions, Brown caught six passes for 98 yards.
A third-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, Brown’s career was disappointing through his first three seasons. In a game against the Lions back in 2022, Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, upset that 16 wideouts were picked ahead of him in the draft, threw some shade at Brown and the Commanders.
After the Commanders defeated the Lions on Saturday, Brown was given the opportunity to respond to St. Brown’s previous comments. He politely declined.
While St. Brown has emerged as one of the NFL’s best wide receivers in his four-year career, Dyami Brown had bragging rights on Saturday.
Two days after the game, Brown had some fun with St. Brown’s comments.
A simple, yet perfect response from Brown, who had every right to feel disrespected. Several of Brown’s teammates, such as Zach Ertz, Jeremy Reaves, and Frankie Luvu, responded to his post. NASCAR legend — and Commanders’ fan — Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn also responded.
Brown, a free agent at season’s end, has played himself into the team’s long-term plans with his improved play this season, especially recently.
