A.J. Brown Snaps at Rookie OT for Complaining About Camp Workload
Share this article:
Training camp isn't meant to be easy. It's where reputations are built and excuses get left at the door. That was the message Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown made loud and clear this week—especially to one rookie who didn’t seem ready for the heat.
According to team insiders, tensions flared slightly during a recent team meeting when a rookie offensive lineman was overheard muttering about the “brutal” schedule, calling the practices “too much” and “nonstop.” It didn’t sit well with Brown.
And instead of letting it slide, the Pro Bowl wideout used the moment to send a message.
“You think this is college conditioning? Welcome to the f**king NFL,”** Brown snapped.
“You’re in Philly now—we don’t complain, we compete. If you’re tired, get stronger. If not, get out the damn way.”
Those in the room said it wasn’t a personal attack—it was a tone-setter. Brown has become one of the vocal leaders in Philly, and with veterans like Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox gone, it’s clear he’s stepping fully into that role.
The Eagles have long prided themselves on culture—resilience, accountability, toughness. So when a rookie questions the grind, especially in front of vets who’ve bled for that jersey, expect someone to speak up. This time, it was Brown—and the message landed.
The moment may not show up in highlight reels, but these are the details that define who sticks and who fades in the NFL.
For Brown, it’s not just about catches and touchdowns—it’s about defending what it means to wear midnight green.
The rookie who drew his fire?
First-year offensive tackle Myles Hinton. And if he wants to earn a spot in Philly, he now knows exactly what’s expected.
