AJ Brown isn’t the only athlete who reads.
These five books shaped my 12-year NFL career and life beyond the field:

🔥 Ego Is The Enemy – Confidence builds careers but unchecked ego destroys them.
⚔️ David and Goliath – Turn your disadvantages into strengths.
🧠 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Begin with the end in mind.
🤝 How to Win Friends & Influence People – Football is relationships. Learn to communicate and lead.
🧘‍♂️ Awareness – Detach from the noise. Be fully present.

Which one are you reading next? 👇
