Eagles star A.J. Brown offers an open invitation to QBs in Philadelphia and New Jersey
Eagles star A.J. Brown offers an open invitation to QBs in Philadelphia and New Jersey Eagles All-Pro quarterback took to social media to offer an open invitation to local quarterbacks from Jersey and Philly for throwing sessions
Call this premature. Call it a theory expressed in error, but don't be surprised if others agree. A.J. Brown is already a Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Famer, but his next few seasons in the City of Brotherly Love could determine whether or not we're discussing more. Canton isn't out of the question. He may not be a shoo-in yet, but we might be when his playing days are over.
His resume already consisted of his addition to the Pro Football Writers Association's All-Rookie Team in 2019. He landed on a Pro Bowl roster with the Tennessee Titans in 2020, but once he arrived in Philly, things reached supernova.
Brown has gone from being seen as a very good player to being one of the best in the game at his position. He and DeVonta Smith make up the game's best one-two punch at wide receiver, and yes, the guys in Cincinnati and Miami were considered when making that declaration.
Since his trade to Philadelphia in 2022, Brown has landed on two more Pro Bowl rosters (2022, 2023). He was snubbed last season, but that's okay. He can bask in the glow of a Second-Team All-Pro nod, his third. He's won that honor during each of the past three seasons.
Brown is a Super Bowl champion, and when his time is up, who knows what he may have accomplished? The best part is that he has never lost his humility. That was most recently evidenced by a recent invitation he offered on social media.
A.J. Brown is looking for a quarterback in the Philly and New Jersey area to work out with him this summer.
Don't restart your cellular devices or your tablets. There's no need to check the resolution or the speed of your laptop. Your internet isn't lagging. This isn't a drill. A.J. Brown is looking for a quarterback from Philadelphia or New Jersey to work out with him during the summer. He offered an open invitation through his Instagram account.
Fingers are crossed that the local news outlets and radio stations don't twist this and try to present it as some issue he has with his teammates. Let's hope the more appropriate angle is focused on instead.
This is a recent Super Bowl winner who has already expressed that his desire to compete outweighs his achievements. That's why this city and fan base love A.J. and why it may not be inappropriate to believe that his bust may be carved one day and placed in the hallowed ground better known as the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Ohio.

Rookie Cam Smith hits walkoff single to give Astros a thrilling 3-2 win over Twins
HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Cam Smith hit a tiebreaking RBI single off closer Jhoan Duran with two outs in the ninth inning to give the Houston Astros a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Duran (4-2) walked Christian Walker with one out in the ninth and he moved to third on a two-out single by Jake Meyers. Smith then singled on a grounder to center to score Meyers for his first career walkoff hit and Houston's fourth straight victory. Closer Josh Hader (3-0) struck out two in a scoreless ninth for the win. Both teams got strong performances from their starters. Houston's Hunter Brown allowed three hits and two runs with a career-high 12 strikeouts in seven innings. Minnesota's Joe Ryan yielded two hits and two runs while fanning seven in seven innings. Yainer Diaz hit a two-run homer for Houston in the third and Brooks Lee tied it with his shot in the fifth that extended his career-long hitting streak to 14 games. Bryan Abreu struck out three in a scoreless eighth for the Astros. Brown plunked Byron Buxton on the left elbow to start the sixth before walking Trevor Larnach. But he retired the next three batters, with two strikeouts to escape the jam. Buxton remained in the game for the bottom of the inning but was replaced in center field by Harrison Bader in the bottom of the seventh. The team said he had left because of a bruised left elbow. Smith's single to win it. Key stat Brown has a 1.88 ERA, which ranks second in the American League. Up next ___

Sophie Verzyl, Anna Kwong win gold at American Cup
Down seven points, Divers Sophie Verzyl and Anna Kwong knew they had to make up some ground on the Australians on this last dive to take the gold medal. As she always does, Verzyl looked at Kwong and asked if she was ready. She nodded, Verzyl counted down, and they started their routine three meters above the ground. They flipped and perfectly landed in the water with minimal splash. Verzyl and Kwong scored a 72.42, the highest score of the five rounds. With their last dive, Kwong and Verzyl beat the Australians 277.56-274.71 to take gold in the women's 3-meter synchronized dive at the American Cup held at Peak Health Aquatic Center in Morgantown on Saturday morning. 'We were pretty happy,' Kwong said. 'We had a couple slips… I'm really, really happy with that last dive in particular, putting it together in a competition.' The winning dive was the first time the two had ever performed it in competition, so it was a bit of a risk, especially relying on it to give them the win. The duo wasn't stressed from what they learned from their coaches and were going out to have fun no matter the outcome. 'Not stressing about the dive because my coach tells me technique is power,' Kwong said. 'You don't have to force power to give you good technique.' The dive was new, but everything was new for the two of them. The two had only been diving together for a month. In May, at the World Cup in Beijing, China, Kwong's synchronized partner backed out because of over exhaustion. Kwong knew Verzyl was going for individual diving, so she asked Verzyl to be her partner. After the World Cup, the two went to the National Championship, where they tied for first. The American Cup was their third competition diving together. From there, the two have developed a connection, sending each other Instagram reels and Facetiming each other regularly, even going to two different schools. 'This is my bestie,' Verzyl said. 'We are good friends.' Kwong actually looked up to Verzyl quite a bit before the two became partners. Verzyl's a decorated individual diver. She won 1st in the 2025 National Championships and first at the SEC Championships for South Carolina. Verzyl also said she looked up to Kwong, who was a World-level trampolinist before diving. Since starting diving, Kwong's won three national-level competitions, and first in the Big 12 Championships for TCU. The relationship propelled the two to collect first place at the American Cup despite their lowest score in a single round, where they slipped off the platform. In diving, having a strong relationship is important because the more in sync, the better the score. Even after just diving for a month, Kwong and Verzyl's bond is strong, which helped them get the win. 'I like having someone to do it with,' Kwong said. 'You're not all on your own. It's nice to be up on the boards with your friend. Being able to bounce positivity off of each other. There have been partnerships where people don't like each other, and that makes diving together really hard. We enjoy each other's company.' The synchronized duo weren't the only winners from Saturday's finals. USA secured first and second in the men's 10-meter synchronized diving. The duo of Joshua Hedberg and Carson Tyler rolled the rest of the competition and scored 430.29 after six dives. In second, Dash Glasberg and Max Weinrich edged out Australia with a score of 322.56. Later Saturday night was the men's 3-meter finals. USA went one-two again. Max Weinrich won first with former Olympian, Tyler, finishing second.

Analyst Calls Eagles Legitimate Target For Pro Bowl Cornerback
Analyst Calls Eagles Legitimate Target For Pro Bowl Cornerback originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There are many reasons why the Philadelphia Eagles continue to be tied to free-agent cornerback Jaire Alexander. After winning Super Bowl LIX, the organization parted ways with two key starters in the secondary, including cornerback Darius Slay and safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Advertisement With Alexander now a free agent after his release from the Green Bay Packers, the Pro Bowl cornerback is seen as a fit for the Eagles maybe in part if they don't believe in young Kelee Ringo. There is an underrated reason why Alexander is a strong fit with Philly, though. Eagles defensive backs coach Christian Parker was a quality control coach with the Packers during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Alexander was an All-Pro during his second season with Parker. Philadelphia doesn't have much money to give out for Alexander this offseason, but one analyst believes something could happen that would turn the tide on a potential deal. Advertisement ESPN's Adam Schefter joined 97.5 The Fanatic and addressed the possibility while saying Alexander could be a fit if the price is right. "Now, Jaire Alexander, if the price were right and you're doing a one-year deal – whatever the number is, a low number – they can go make that work if that's what they wanted to do," Schefter said. Things can absolutely change if Alexander - who was a $20 million plus guy under his previous deal. lowers his price. That said, Philadelphia has supported Ringo in earning the starting job this season. With larger extensions due the following offseason, Philadelphia is trying to save as much cap space as possible for next year. Advertisement And we say - with all due respect to Schefter - that leaves Alexander as an unlikely fit for the team at this point.
