MIAMI, FL — Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown did not exactly endear himself to fans during a rough conclusion to a controversy-riddled season, which even featured a sidelines screaming match with head coach Nick Sirianni.

So it was perhaps a relief for Brown to see a heartwarming experience on the street with a local fan go viral.

Brown was driving through Miami this week with his wife, Kelsey, and their child, when they spotted a young boy selling candy. They said he was making sales in order to buy a new Play Station.
