The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Green Bay Packers on January 12th, 22-10. Of course, fans were happy to see a W for the Eagles. But they also keyed in on something more unusual happening on the sidelines. It wasn’t a cheer, funny dance, or even a screaming coach. No, fans noticed one of their favorite players doing something unexpected. Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown thought it would be a good time to read a book, and his decision went viral. Eagle-eyed Eagles fans determined AJ was reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy and the player isn’t ashamed.

I figured that’s what y’all probably thought. Why do you always think I be frustrated? Dang. I like to read.” He then went to X and posted pictures of the book with highlighted passages. He captioned his post, “This game is 90% mental and 10% physical for me. I bring it to every game and I read it between each drive. I use it to refocus and lock in despite what may transpire in the game good or bad. People tend to create controversy when they don’t know the truth.” Fans approved of AJ Brown as a viral book-reading player. One wrote, “If the mind is right the game will be as well. Do what you need to do to maintain your level of focus each game. Much love.” “This was awesome! Some players put on their headsets and do music. You chose a book, and I respect that. Keep doing you. Good luck in the playoffs,” someone agreed. AJ Brown’s viral moment sold a few books. This person ordered one, “Just ordered, huge game incoming for you next week.” And so did plenty more. Like this person, “Ordered my copy last night You don’t have to explain anything AJ we got you.” This story’s featured image is by Timothy Nwachukwu/Getty Images.
