Brown has frequently been credited to be the best receiver in Titans‘ history, but his flat-out stating this to shut down a critic provoked reactions otherwise. Reacting to the response, the fan who ranted on AJ tweeted this.
I mean, let’s be real. You were good. But you weren’t the best. You became a villain the second you bailed on all the little kids who were looking forward to attending your camp.

The Eagles’ WR also received some harsh comments on his tweet.
Lmao the best wide receiver to ever play for us goes for 900 yards 5 tds and then asks said team for ridiculously high numbers that they know they can’t accommodate? Arrogance is always a bad look. This shit will be deleted by end of the hour anyway lol

Now I’m not a fan of the Titans so I can’t really have much credibility here but I don’t think I can really think of any other WR that stood out on a Titans squad ever.
