A.J. Brown was drafted by the San Diego Padres back in 2016, and the sport of baseball continues to intrigue him. Brown is considering a career in both football and baseball, much like Bo Jackson and deion Sanders.
Brown, the star wide receiver on the Tennessee Titans, has the itch to play professional baseball again after he sent out a cryptic tweet.
Brown’s Titans were eliminated by the Bengals in the AFC Divisional Round last month. Soon after, the third-year wideout took to Twitter to rehash his desire to channel his inner Bo Jackson.

He also took a shot at Michael Jordan as he made claims that he would be much better than him.
“I tell a lot of guys, ‘Man, you catch the ball with your eyes,'” Brown told ESPN in a 2020 story. “Baseball really helped me out with that for football. When you’re tracking a ball, especially a deep ball, it helped me a lot. I played center field in baseball. On a deep pass in football, you judge it and go track it just like a center fielder.”
In 2015, Brown became just the second player to participate in the All-America Game in both football and baseball, joining Kyler Murray.
Brown was a first-team all-SEC receiver twice at Ole Miss. After he was selected by the Titans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, he made the All-Rookie team in ’19 and the Pro Bowl in ’21.
Who knows what the future may hold for Brown in baseball and football.
