WATCH: AJ Brown’s 9-minute video about mental health in response to the passing of Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore
AJ Brown posted a nine-minute video this week about mental health in response to the passing of Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore. In it, he shared something deeply personal. That he once contemplated taking his own life. That he has been through the darkness that too many people face alone. That he chose to fight through it.
“Don’t take the easy way out,” he said. “I once thought that was the way.”
Take a moment with that.
AJ Brown 9-minute video about Mental Health
This is the same guy that 94.1 WIP spent weeks portraying as a diva and a cancer to the Eagles locker room. The same guy Joe DeCamara recorded a message for. The same guy national media painted as a problem because he made a joke on a podcast and winked at the camera.
The narrative built around AJ Brown this offseason has been so far removed from who this man actually is that it borders on embarrassing for the people who pushed it.
AJ Brown is not a distraction. He is not a bad teammate. He is a human being who has been through something incredibly heavy, chose to survive it, and then had the courage to share it publicly so that other people going through the same thing know they are not alone. That takes more strength than anything that happens on a football field.
The media does not get to spend months calling someone a problem and then act surprised when the fuller picture of who they are comes into focus. This is who AJ Brown has always been. The people in that Eagles locker room already knew it. The fans who were actually paying attention already knew it.
Rest easy, Rondale Moore and thank you, AJ Brown, for being willing to share something this real. It matters more than you know.
