Is A.J. Brown related to Antonio Brown? Exploring the relationship between WRs

A.J. Brown has enjoyed a spectacular season with the Philadelphia Eagles this campaign. The receiver has helped the team to the Super Bowl and even caught a touchdown in the big game.

However, as Brown shares the same last name as Antonio Brown, fans have been curious to learn whether the two NFL stars are related.

To put it simply, the answer is no. A.J. Brown and Antonio Brown are not related. Both these wideouts come from different families and different places.

In fact, the only things they share are a similar last name and their position on the field.

Antonio grew up in Miami and played for Central Michigan before the Pittsburgh Steelers made him a sixth-round pick in 2010. Meanwhile, A.J. is from Starkville, Mississippi, and was drafted out of Ole Miss by the Tennessee Titans in the second round in 2019.

Moreover, A.J. doesn't have many relatives in the league either.

Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown

A.J. Brown finished the regular season with 1,496 receiving yards on 88 receptions and caught 11 touchdowns through the air. His impressive showings helped the Eagles finish as the No.1 seed in the NFC, which in turn earned Philadelphia a first-round bye in the playoffs.

However, Brown had a relatively quiet start to life in the postseason, as he managed just 50 receiving yards on seven receptions against the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

Nonetheless, he came up with a big contribution in the Super Bowl when he caught a touchdown to help the Eagles get ahead in the big game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

At the time of writing, Brown has managed three receptions on 74 yards with a touchdown. The 25-year-old will be eager to get his team over the line and get himself a Super Bowl ring at the final whistle.
