A.J. Brown has been one of the trending names of the NFL offseason.
But doesn't a name like that make you wonder -- what's his full name? Are those his initials, or do they stand for something else?
Well, the answer is pretty simple, for starters: They're Brown's initials.
You might not predict what the A and J stand for, though.

What is A.J. Brown's full name?
A.J. stands for Arthur Juan.
He's Arthur Juan Brown.
A.J.'s father is named Arthur, as well.
Interestingly, that would allow Brown to follow a different naming convention. The 'J' could stand for 'Junior' if that was what was intended instead.
Some players, like DJ Moore, do it that way. The Bills WR is named Denniston Moore Jr., and so his DJ stands for Denniston Jr.
That gives Brown's name a fun extra layer. The 'J' can stand for whatever he'd like it to on a given day.
Of course, he's gone by A.J. for so long, that probably just feels like it's his full name. But those initials had to stand for something, and he's really Arthur Juan.
