Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown’s off-field choices that have fans buzzing. In the past two weeks, Brown has gone viral twice.
The Practical Ride
The first moment came during the Eagles’ wild card round victory over the Green Bay Packers. Cameras caught Brown reading a book titled “Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life” by Jim Murphy while on the sideline. The book quickly shot to the top of Amazon’s best-seller charts, according to Sports Illustrated.
The second viral moment came ahead of the Eagles’ NFC divisional round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Brown, who wore an all-black fit and gold chain, surprised everyone by arriving last week at Lincoln Financial Field in a modest $30,000 Honda Accord. Fans on social media loved the humility. One fan wrote on X, “Smart man. Fly under the radar. Ain’t no one going to mess with you driving to the stadium in that wonderfully average mileage car.” Another added, “Intelligent and humble!”
Unlike many of his fellow NFLers, it seems Brown is not dropping a lot of his cash on cars. He is one of the NFL’s top-earning wide receivers, thanks to his lucrative three-year, $96 million contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. The deal includes $84 million guaranteed, and $19.875 million signing bonus, and an annual average salary of $32 million, Spotrac reports.
The Eagles have advanced to the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. Let’s see what Brown’s next off-field viral move will be.
