There are a lot of brother duos in the NFL over the years. Some have played the same positions and other has been on the opposite side of the scrimmage line. Probably one of the most famous and celebrated brother duos is the Manning brothers. Both Peyton and Eli were the first overall picks from their draft class and both have won two Super Bowls. But Peyton has a touch more records and awards to name than his younger brother.
Then there are the Kelce brothers. Hate to say this but most fans would agree that Jason and Travis are not nearly as famous as their mom Donna Kelce. The Kelce brother made history as they became the first brothers to start in a Super Bowl. Travis enjoyed the spoils of the victory in Super Bowl LVII while Jason and the Eagles went home with a heavy heart.
Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown are the wide-receiving brother duo in the NFL that is quickly rising at the top of the league. Many have often wondered whether A.J. Brown and Antonio Brown are another WR brother duo in the league. Let’s take a look to find out if these two superstar wide receivers are brothers in real life or not.

Are A.J. Brown and Antonio Brown brothers?
No. AJ Brown and Antonio Brown are not related to each other. The two star wide receivers only share the same last name and position on the gridiron. Both come from different families and were raised in different places. A. J. Brown was born and brought up in Starkville, Mississippi while Antonio Brown was born in Miami, Florida.
Who is A.J. Brown?
A.J. Brown is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles since the 2022 season. He was drafted into the league by the Titans in 2019 and played with them for three years before being traded to the Eagles. In his short four-year career, Brown has risen to the top and is considered one of the best receivers in the league right now. He has 273 receptions for 4,491 yards and 35 yards.
The 25-year-old has been a great asset for the Eagles and had a good game in Super Bowl LVII. Brown also showed that he always has the back of his teammates which was evident from the Twitter fight between him and Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster. All in all, A.J. Brown has all the makings of a Pro Bowler and potentially a Hall of Fame wide receiver.
Who is Antonio Brown?
Antonio Brown was widely considered the best wide receiver of the 2010s decade. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010 which turned out to be one the best last-round pick. Brown was the league’s leader in receptions twice (2014, 2015) and twice in receiving yards (2014, 2017). He was nominated to the Pro Bowl seven times in his 12-year-long career.
Brown still could’ve played in the NFL if it wasn’t for his off-the-field issues. During his time in Pittsburgh, the 34-year-old live-streamed a locker room speech by head coach Mike Tomlin. He also had issues on his terms with the Raiders and the Patriots that saw him get fired by them. However, towards the end of his career, Tom Brady approached him and asked him to play for him in Tampa Bay and Brown was a model citizen for a year and won Super Bowl LV.
However, in the 2021 season, he walked off the field throwing his jersey in the endzone during the Bucs and Jets matchup in Week 17. Off the field, Antonio Brown has been in the headlines for his sexual misconduct. Last year, he flashed his penis to a woman in a pool in Dubai. Additionally, he disrespected the mother of his children as he posted a video of her performing oral sex on Brown on Snapchat. He also disrespected Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen by morphing her face into the body of a naked woman.
If Antonio Brown was a better person off the field, then he would be considered one of the best wide receivers and maybe be nominated to the Hall of Fame. No way it’s happening now!
