Eagles' WR A.J. Brown talks to troubled teens about his journey and struggles
Eagles' WR A.J. Brown talks to troubled teens about his journey and struggles A.J. Brown continues to give back to the local community and recently spent time with troubled teens.
A.J. Brown is a captain, motivational speaker, and Super Bowl winner who now delivers excellent commencement speeches after being asked to represent his alma mater.
After delivering encouragement at the University of Mississippi's 172nd annual Commencement last Saturday afternoon, Brown spent time with troubled teens in Chester, a city located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and a suburb of Philadelphia.
Brown spoke to a group at the Delaware County Juvenile Probation Offices and had an "unfiltered discussion" focused on his journey, struggles, and the choices that shaped the three-time All-Pro.
During a vulnerable moment early in the session, Brown posted to his YouTube page that the star wide receiver admitted that he "failed the seventh grade." He once borrowed a gun from his cousin for protection during his time at Ole Miss. Oxford police pulled over Brown while he was in college, and after avoiding any trouble, the Starksville, Mississippi native vowed to live his life differently.
After winning a Super Bowl, Brown proposed to his longtime girlfriend Kelsey Riley. The following Tuesday, he was honored with the first-ever "Making a Better Philly Changemaker Award."
With the Eagles, Brown has played in two Super Bowls with Philadelphia, including this year's victory. He has also been selected for the Pro Bowl three times and named second-team All-Pro three times.
