AJ Brown has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles for almost a month. But Tennessee Titans fans are still enraged at him leaving their club and are threatening the wide receiver over the move. Brown has had enough and, in response, has put forward a statement to anyone looking to interrupt his "peace."

"I'm so sorry. I let down your kids and many others but I will not put myself in a place where my peace is going to be threatened by adults who feel a way because I was traded. I'm every bad word it is for taking care of "MY FAMILY!" If you're not aware just look on social media."

He continued, saying that the move was for the best interests of his family:

"I'm a man first and I will always do what I feel is right for me and my family. People are upset and that's fine but it's not that serious when it comes to me. People can disrespect me on social media and that's fine but being disrespectful to my face is whole another thing and I'm not tolerating it on any level."

He went on, alluding to losing control if someone challenges him in real life:

"So forgive me for not putting myself in a place where my peace could be threatened because if something happens and I react, I'm the one who has everything to lose and not willing to risk my peace, my family, or my job."

He wrapped up his statement by saying that anyone who doesn't understand his situation, actively chooses not to understand:

"I would love to make [everyone's] children's day, but not if I'm putting my own at risk. Please don't say nothing is going to happen because nobody knows that. I'm sure someone will still have a problem with this and that's fine as well. If you can't understand that, then it's because you don't want to. Take care! Love."

After the season, many wondered if AJ Brown could duplicate his success. Not only did the wide receiver duplicate his success, but he also took a small step ahead of his performance the previous season. In 2020, he caught 70 passes for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns.

While still productive in 2021, Brown had trouble staying healthy, and it impacted his final totals. He played in 13 games, recording 63 receptions for 869 yards and five touchdowns. Now a member of the Eagles, many are wondering if the wide receiver will be able to continue his overall success.
