A.J. Brown Reads Book During Playoff Victory

During the Philadelphia Eagles' playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers, wide receiver A.J. Brown was seen reading 'Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life' by Jim Murphy on the sidelines, sparking curiosity and speculation about his focus during the game. Brown clarified that reading helps him refocus and maintain mental clarity, stating, "This game is 90% mental and 10% physical for me." Despite only making one catch during the game, he emphasized that the book is part of his routine to stay mentally prepared, a practice he has maintained throughout the season. Teammates have nicknamed the book 'the recipe' for its importance in his game-day preparation. While some commentators questioned his engagement, Brown insisted his reading was not a sign of frustration. Sales of the book, however, did not see an immediate boost following the publicity.
