The Philadelphia Eagles were riding high as they made through downtown to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory. This Eagles championship parade was an experience that the likes of AJ Brown wanted to be a part of all season long. After demolishing the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, it is their time to rejoice.

Brown posted his third consecutive 1000-yard season. However, those numbers could have been much higher had the Eagles not utilized a different game plan this season. Their heavy reliance on Saquon Barkley meant the receivers were not going to the see the ball much.

The leading wideout openly criticized that scheme earlier in the season. At the time, it seemed as if he was being the selfish diva that top wide receivers tend to become. Many felt his attitude towards team performance could be the roadblock in the way of the Eagles’ dreams of winning another Super Bowl.

At the end of it all, the 27-year-old won Super Bowl LIX. He celebrated the win passionately while at Caesars Superdome and also with die-hard fans of the team. At the Eagles championship parade, though, he decided to slam those who criticized him all season.

They said I was a diva. They said all I cared about was stats. You can get all of those things wrong about me. But there’s one thing you can get right… I’m a f***ing champion!

AJ Brown said

As the Philadelphia crowd roared in approval, AJ Brown lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy, silencing his critics and proving he had the last laugh. He is now a Super Bowl champion.

Now as a Super Bowl champion, AJ Brown is now content that he will get a ring to wear on his finger. He will be one of the few players in NFL history to have such a ring in his possession. Prior to the Eagles championship parade, the superstar was at the Philadelphia Eagles facilities.

Jewelers took their finger measurements as they will start creating the rings they will hand out at a later date. Brown had his son alongside him as he tried various sizes on his third finger. The wideout might be looking at wearing the ring on that finger as his teammates tried out their sizes.

The Ole Miss standout wants to have more rings in to wear on his fingers. He is one of the older veterans on the Eagles offense. Therefore, his leadership will be crucial in the years to come as the franchise looks to build a dynasty.

They will have one of the youngest teams next season. However, that young team is not devoid of talent. The core players have already shown that they can beat the best in the business. If GM Howie Roseman can keep adding important pieces, AJ Brown could have a collection of rings of his own to show off.
