The Philadelphia Eagles and A.J. Brown entered the Divisional Round with their sights set on reaching the NFC Championship Game, a stage they haven’t seen since 2022.
As they prepared to face off against the Los Angeles Rams, Brown’s impact remained significant despite a slight dip in his stats this season.
The Eagles recognized his elite status among NFL receivers, securing him with a hefty three-year, $96 million extension that kicked in for 2024.
But it wasn’t Brown’s on-field performance that caught everyone’s attention before the Rams game – it was his choice of transportation.
Instead of rolling up to Lincoln Financial Field in a flashy luxury vehicle, the star receiver arrived in a modest Honda, estimated to be worth around $30,000.
The sight of Brown stepping out of his humble ride quickly became a social media sensation, with the video amassing over 3.1 million views.
Fans couldn’t help but praise Brown’s down-to-earth approach.
“AJ Brown rolling up in a $30,000 Honda proves you don’t need to flex to be a legend. A $100 million receiver keeping it humble—that’s a vibe. No wonder he’s going viral!” one fan commented.

Another supporter noted his intellectual side: “That man has the right mindset! Also he was reading a book on the sidelines last game.”

The praise continued pouring in across social media.
“Good for him. I support that,” posted one user, while another added, “Smart man. He know he’s a 100 million nfl player. He has nothing to prove to anyone.”

Even if Brown does own more luxurious vehicles – perhaps a Ferrari tucked away in his garage – his choice of transportation proved particularly practical given the day’s weather conditions.
With snow expected to accumulate throughout the game in Philadelphia, Brown’s modest Honda might have been the smartest option available.
Sometimes, as fans pointed out, keeping things simple is the way to go.
