Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was scheduled to hold a football camp at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville on June 18 for boys and girls in first through eighth grade, but his appearance was canceled in late April.
Brown pulled out because he didn't want his peace to be threatened by the Tennessee fans who have disrespected him on social media, and he didn't want it to continue in person or in a position where his peace could be threatened.

In March, the camp's website said that Brown and his coaches will offer tips and hands-on instruction, including lectures, fundamental football skills stations, contests, and non-contact games, in a high-energy, fun, and positive environment.
The website has been taken down.
It is not clear if Brown's scheduled camp has been canned or if a replacement player will host a revised event.
Kayla Anderson @KaylaAndersonTV✨ Watch more top videos, highlights, and B/R original contentI spoke to MBA's AD Mark Tipps this afternoon (where AJ Brown's camp was going to be held on June 18th) & they have not been told by anyone that the camp has been canceled, so like @1kalwaysopen_ said it sounds like a #Titans replacement should be announced soon, possibly Henry.
Before you all get in your feelings, my team is trying to get your very own Derrick Henry to run the camp, wrote Brown on May 10. I did not cancel the camp, I just got someone that you want to see. Take care.
Brown is holding a different camp in Starkville, Mississippi on June 11.
Brown was traded to the Eagles for two picks. The star wideout and the Eagles agreed to a four-year contract extension.
In his first three seasons in the league, Brown has caught 185 passes for 2,995 yards and 24 touchdown, making him one of the top young receivers in the game.
