Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown’s love shines on the football field, but God’s love is even clearer in the Holy Eucharist, where he is always present for us.
A.J. Brown is the star wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown tends to dominate games because of his physicality and speed. However, there is a story about his cleats that illustrates his love for his child, while also echoing the love of God for each one of us.
The story goes that he always felt bad when he had to go on road trips with the team because that meant he had to leave his young daughter. While he was away, she would often ask, “Where is daddy? When is he coming home?”
This prompted Brown to consider how he could show his love for his daughter in a special way while also giving her a chance to see him while he was gone. Due to her young age, she can’t fully grasp the game of football. And, seeing that all of the players on the same team wear identical uniforms and helmets, the only visible difference is the numbers on their jerseys, but these are hard to spot as the players are on the field.
So the football-playing father came up with an innovative idea to help his daughter find him on the field: In 2023, he began wearing bright-pink cleats, which stood out vividly against the green football field — making him easy to find, no matter where he was on the gridiron.
