*Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown made headlines recently for two unexpected reasons. First, during the Eagles’ Wild Card game against the Packers, he was spotted reading “Inner Excellence,” a personal growth book that surged onto best-seller lists, surprising even its author, Jim Murphy.
Brown even joked about his casual in-game reading, saying, “Y’all just caught me that time. I’m doing it every drive, regardless of if I score a touchdown or drop a pass—I refocus.”
Now, Brown has gone viral again for arriving at the Divisional Round game against the Rams in a modest Honda Accord, despite signing a three-year, $96 million contract extension with the Eagles earlier this season, Newsweek reports. The car’s value is under $30,000, showcasing his down-to-earth approach.
Fans have shown strong support for Brown’s frugal lifestyle, with many on social media praising his humble demeanor despite his high earnings, highlighting his relatability.
“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,” one X user wrote.

Many people noted that Brown opted not to drive his “real” car in bad weather.
“If I were that rich I’d have a cheap ass car for the shitty weather days to I’m not letting my super car get hailed on,” an X user commented.
“I’m sure his choices will help him avoid being 1 of the 60% of professional athletes who go broke within 5 years of retiring from professional sports. If I was a rookie in the league, I would be spending more time with Mr. Brown! “Walk with the wise and become wise” Proverb 13:20,” X user Dave Allen wrote.
