Could Tennessee Titans WR A.J. Brown outdo Michael Jordan....in baseball? He thinks so.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown vows he could play better than Michael Jordan.
In baseball.
Brown (half-jokingly?) tweeted Wednesday that he is itching to go through a baseball workout to see if he can play baseball professionally.
"Sometimes i think about playing both sports again @Padres," Brown tweeted. "All I need is a workout. I still got."
Later, he tweeted: "I promise I will do better than Michael Jordan in baseball".

TITANS OFFSEASON: Here's what must be on Tennessee Titans' checklist this offseason
GENTRY ESTES: The five most pressing questions for Tennessee Titans to answer this offseason
The Titans' star receiver, who was invited to the Under Armour All-America games in both football and baseball in high school, was a 19th-round selection in the 2016 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres and signed with the MLB franchise. Brown did not play a game in the Padres' organization but did work out with the organization throughout his time in college at Ole Miss.
Now, Brown is one of the top young receivers in the NFL after three seasons in Nashville. Mike Vrabel may not be too fond of Brown spending his offseason in the minors, but teammate Taylor Lewan would be.
"This boy really is like that," Lewan tweeted in a reply Wednesday. "I hope this happens."
This boy really is like that.. I hope this happens
