NFL fans react to emotional A.J. Brown getting signed Tom Brady jersey

It's no secret that Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown grew up a New England Patriots and Tom Brady fan.

People tend to forget that the same athletes they're watching on the field on Sundays were once fans like everyone else. The same can be said about Brown, who went viral this week in a video that captured him unboxing a signed Patriots jersey from Brady.

It was an exciting moment for Brown, who is already having quite the year after winning his first Super Bowl with the Eagles.

"I appreciate ya, big bruh. You've officially reached big bruh status," said Brown. "...Nah man, it's love man. Appreciate you so much. The best to ever put a pair of cleats on. Now debate that."

On the back of the jersey, along with his signature, Brady wrote, "AJ a great player. A champion!"
