AJ Brown Is a Diva. He's Also the Eagles' Best Player. Both Are True.
AJ Brown read a book on the sideline, publicly complained about the passing game, and has been called every name in the Philly playbook. He's also the most talented offensive weapon the Eagles have. The real question isn't whether he's a diva — it's whether the Eagles can win without one.
