Eagles' A.J. Brown Promotes Reading After Viral Sideline Moment

The wide receiver's habit of reading during games has sparked discussions about literacy and inspired a surge in book sales.

A.J. Brown was seen reading 'Inner Excellence' on the sidelines during the Eagles' wild-card win against the Packers, drawing widespread attention.
Brown's reading habit, which he says helps him stay focused, has been a regular practice throughout the season and not a reaction to his limited targets in the game.
The book he was reading has since become a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, with many citing Brown's influence as the reason for its popularity.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni defended Brown, calling criticism of the sideline reading 'lazy' and praising Brown as a player and person.
Educators and literacy advocates have highlighted the potential positive impact of Brown's example, especially as youth reading rates continue to decline.
