Interestingly, former Titans second-round pick A.J. Brown, who cried when the Patriots didn’t draft him in 2019, later explained why he changed his Instagram profile picture to Brady. “TB12 is my favorite player ever,” Brown wrote on X. “I watched ‘The Dynasty,’ and it brought back memories from my childhood. Go look up what he did in 2015 when he was doubted/disrespected. Yeah, I see the disrespect. Motivated? Yes. That’s it. I didn’t think changing my [profile picture] to the greatest QB ever would cause controversy. Take care,” he added.

Despite the backlash, Brown remained unfazed, openly supporting his favorite star. “I don’t live by the world’s rules. He’s retired and is the best person ever to touch a football. It’s not that serious,” he responded to a commenter.
His stance also fueled speculation that he was following Patriots players like Jacoby Brissett and K.J. Osborn. However, Brown didn’t seem to care. His latest reaction alone was enough to show his admiration for the former NFL QB.
