AJ Brown Shares 'hilarious' Experience With Botafogo Players

Some NFL teams are sharing their training grounds with soccer clubs playing in the Club World Cup. One of them is the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Brazilian club Botafogo is training on their turf — and AJ Brown couldn’t miss the chance to talk with the players.

Brown has already shown his soccer fan side, attending the Flamengo vs. Chelsea match at Lincoln Financial Field last week. Most teams are already putting in the work for the new season, with specific training for certain players — and Brown is one of them.

During a Botafogo training session at the Eagles’ facility, AJ Brown walked onto the field to talk with some of the players. Even though he doesn’t speak Portuguese, a staff member helped him engage in conversation. What was supposed to be a pep talk ended up turning into a hilarious moment.

In an Instagram post, AJ Brown shared the story of an Eagles staff member telling the Botafogo players that Brown can run 40 yards in 4.2 seconds — something AJ himself knows is a total lie.

"So I’m out here talking to the players or whatever, trying to. They speak Portuguese, and one of our staff guys is talking to them. They’re talking about how fast they run, and this guy says he’s the fastest. So our guy starts talking about AJ — how fast AJ is. He’s like, “AJ run a 4.2, 4.3… 4.2." I’m looking like, “4.2? Man, I ain’t never run a 4.2 in my life, or a 4.3.” But hey, the whole time I’m over there like, “Hype me up, hype me up!” It was so funny, but I was just like," I did run 23 miles per hour… but 4.2? Nah.”
