Sports are family, until when they’re not.
Family ties extend deep throughout the game, as is the case with several NFL players who have the same last name.
There are many more generational connections between young and old players in the league, including players like the Watts, Bosas, Chubbs, and Kelces.
Is AJ Brown Antonio Brown Brothers?
No! Antonio Brown and A.J. Brown are not related to one another. The only things they have in common are their positions on the field and their last names.
They are not from the same hometown, attended different high schools and colleges, and have never faced off in an NFL game.
A.J. Brown, 25, is from Starkville, Mississippi, and was selected by the Titans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss. Antonio Brown, 34, grew raised in Miami and played at Central Michigan before the Steelers selected him in the sixth round in 2010.
A.J. has no relatives who play in the NFL, despite sharing a last name with numerous people in the game. He did maintain close relationships with several athletes, including wide receivers Elijah Moore of the Jets and D.K. Metcalf of the Seahawks, both of whom he shared the field with in college.
However, Antonio Brown is not the only wide receiver in the NFL; he is related to both current Cardinals wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and former NFL wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins.
When “Hollywood” was on the roster, Antonio had long toyed with the idea of joining the Ravens, but it never materialized. Now that Marquise has joined Arizona, Antonio is without a job.
