Nick Sirianni Reveals If He's OK With A.J. Brown Reading On Bench
Yesterday at 03:11 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown went viral on Sunday for reading a book while on the bench.
Brown was reading a book called "Inner Excellence" during Sunday's wild-card game against the Packers and the book is now the top-rated book on Amazon.
He was relaxing while reading the book and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has no problem with it. In fact, it's been going on longer than just one game.
"I'm definitely okay with it. The crazy thing is, he's been reading this book on the sideline for a long time. It just so happened a camera saw it this week," Sirianni said on the WIP Morning Show. "Some guys pray in between, some guys mediate in between. A.J. reads in between. Whatever these guys need to do to put their minds in a place where they can play with great detail and great effort, I fully encourage them to do that."
Even though Brown only had one reception for 10 yards against the Packers, he still had one heck of a regular season, finishing with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns.
Reading keeps him at peace during games and as long as that's the case, he's going to keep reading.
The Eagles beat the Packers 22-10 on Sunday and will face the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the playoffs this upcoming weekend.
They'll host the Ravens at home since they have the No. 2 seed in the NFC and if they beat them, they'll advance to the NFC Championship Game and take on the winner of the Lions-Commanders game.
Kickoff for Eagles-Rams will be on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will have the call.
Look for Brown to have the same book on the sideline when the camera pans to him.
