After participating in joint training with his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, star receiver A. J. Brown also had a message for his former fans.
When the Philadelphia Eagles first acquired A. J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans, his elite talent quickly made him a fan-favourite. All-Pro selections, playoff runs, and a Super Bowl only enhanced his reputation.
However, things can change quickly in the world of sports. In the prior season, Brown openly voiced his frustrations with the team. This, combined with a lacklustre start to the year, led to growing discontent.
Eventually, the 29-year-old was traded to the New England Patriots. After everything that transpired during his time in Philly, Brown has now sent a final message to fans of his former team.

A. J. received quite a bit of criticism for his behaviour during and after the game. Asked about it, he sent a meaningful and emphatic message.
“I love you and I’m not looking in the past,” Brown told the reporter who asked him about what he had to say.
“That (49ers) game, no I didn’t play my best, but I’m not going backwards. It doesn’t exist. And that’s the last question I’m gonna answer about the past.”
The wide receiver is now reunited with his former coach, Mike Vrabel, on the New England Patriots. The Pats will be hoping to contend once again, and despite all that’s happened, it makes sense that A. J. is focused on the future.
