On the latest episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown sat down with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267 to break down his NFL journey, his relationship with Jalen Hurts, and the wild reality of being in the media spotlight. From ranking his top wide receivers of all time to clapping back at criticism, Brown kept it all the way real in this candid conversation.
Brown reflected on the emotional rollercoaster of being traded from the Tennessee Titans to the Philadelphia Eagles—a move that caught him off guard. Initially hesitant to leave Tennessee, where his family was settled, he admitted the excitement kicked in once he realized he’d be teaming up with his longtime friend, Jalen Hurts. The trade had to happen fast, right before the NFL Draft, making for an intense and unforgettable day.
The conversation turned to the media’s obsession with stirring controversy, particularly around Brown’s relationship with Jalen Hurts. While their passion for winning sometimes leads to heated exchanges, Brown dismissed any talk of real tension.
“People want to make it something bigger than it is. It’s just two competitive dudes who want to win.”
He also called out the media for twisting narratives, recalling how they criticized him for reading a book on the sidelines during a quiet game.
“I’ve always done that, even when I was balling. But the second things aren’t going my way, they make it a big deal.”
Despite the fame and success, Brown remains deeply rooted in his faith. He shared memories of his humble beginnings—growing up in a trailer and eating ketchup sandwiches—emphasizing how those experiences shaped his gratitude. Instilling those values in his children is a priority, ensuring they understand success isn’t just about money or status.
When asked to list his top five all-time wide receivers, Brown didn’t hesitate:
- Jerry Rice – The ultimate legend, and he grew up just 20 minutes from Brown’s hometown.
- Randy Moss – A game-changer who made deep-ball dominance look effortless.
- Larry Fitzgerald – One of the most reliable and respected receivers ever.
- Calvin Johnson (Megatron) – A physical freak who dominated every defense.
- Julio Jones – A model of consistency and elite playmaking.
He also gave Antonio Brown an honorable mention, citing his six-year stretch as the league’s most dominant receiver.
When it comes to trash talk, Brown admitted he’s mostly quiet—until someone gives him a reason to turn up. He recalled going back and forth with a certain Washington Commanders cornerback, saying, “If you start talking first, I’m not gonna let you off easy.”
And when it comes to big-game moments? Brown made it clear that wide receivers don’t just want stats—they need them to stay employed.
“A receiver who don’t want the ball? He ain’t really competitive. Winning is the goal, but we gotta produce, or we don’t eat.”
Brown also spoke on the intensity of Philadelphia’s fanbase, admitting it was a completely different experience from Tennessee.
“In Tennessee, fans cared, but in Philly? Man, this city LIVES for the Eagles. You mess up, they let you know. You win? You’re a legend forever.”
He laughed about Philly’s reputation for being brutal on its own players but said that’s what makes the city special.
“Once you win a Super Bowl here, you’re set for life. You could be 50 years old still getting love in Philly.”
AJ Brown’s conversation on Million Dollaz Worth of Game was a mix of hilarious moments, deep insights, and straight-up football talk.
