A.J. Brown may be a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, but his heart is still with the young athletes and kids in Starkville, Mississippi.
Brown hosted a 7-on-7 camp at his alma mater, Starkville High School on Saturday, and afterward, gifted the football program $25,000 according to Grace Ybarra of WCBINEWS.

Brown, 24, graduated from Starkville High in 2016 and went on to star at Ole Miss with DK Metcalf.
In his senior season at Starkville, he led the Yellow Jackets to the MHSAA 6A football state championship after catching 83 passes for 1,371 yards and 13 touchdowns.
After playing three seasons at Ole Miss, Brown was drafted by the Titans in the second round (pick No. 51) of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Brown just finished his third season with the Titans, before a blockbuster draft night trade with the Eagles that paired the wide receiver with close friend and quarterback, Jalen Hurts.
