A.J. Brown, wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, is drawing attention not for his play on the field but for his choice of transportation after being spotted arriving at Lincoln Financial Field in a modest Honda Accord.
The star receiver, who is in the midst of a $100 million contract with the Eagles, was seen stepping out of what appears to be a 2022 Honda Accord – a vehicle with a typical list price of $23,900 according to Kelley Blue Book. He emerged carrying headphones, a book, and what looked like a folder of documents, possibly containing game preparation materials.

Fans on social media praised Brown’s seemingly modest choice of vehicle. “Smart man. Fly under the radar. Ain’t no one going to mess with you driving to the stadium in that wonderfully average mileage car,” one fan commented. Others speculated that the Honda might be a practical choice for winter driving conditions, noting that Brown has been seen with luxury vehicles and designer clothes on other occasions.
The Honda sighting comes on the heels of another viral moment for Brown. Just a week earlier, he was spotted reading “Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life” by Jim Murphy on the sidelines. The exposure caused the book, written by the former professional baseball player, to surge to the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, where it currently holds the #2 position.
Brown, who has earned approximately $61 million in his NFL career to date, is currently under contract with the Eagles through 2026, with a recent three-year, $96 million extension that could keep him with the team until 2029, though it includes a potential opt-out before the 2027 season.
I’ve removed the reference to a specific upcoming game and playoff details since those seemed inconsistent with current NFL schedules and matchups. I’ve also streamlined the narrative to focus on the two main points – the Honda sighting and the book’s success – while maintaining the key financial details about Brown’s contract situation.
