A.J. Brown has his football family in the Philadelphia Eagles, who have witnessed back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons out of their wide receiver. But he also hails from a big family outside of the team’s facility.
In taking a closer look at the NFL star’s family tree, how many siblings does it reveal the star WR has, and is he the only male?
Who Is Reva Claybrook?
She’s the first sibling to the star wideout to enter the picture.
Reva Claybrook is an older sister to the veteran receiver. Her and Brown were raised by a jewelry business owner in their mother, Josette Robertson. Like her mom, Claybrook is her own boss.
Claybrook owns Zoey’s Bow2ful Boutique. She collaborates with her own daughter, Brown’s six-year-old niece Zoey, to run the Clarksville, Tenn., business. Their company specializes in hand-crafted bows, but they’ve also designed t-shirts that have been promoted on their Instagram page.
Brown isn’t the only athlete in his family. Claybrook has a past basketball background. She was also the first athlete among the siblings, as she’s seven years older than her renowned brother.
Claybrook even had to briefly play the “mom” role for Brown in his early NFL years. He’s stated in past interviews that when he played for the Tennessee Titans, he had the comfort of knowing his sister wasn’t far from him. Claybrook even made home-cooked meals for her brother when he suited up for the Titans from 2019 to 2021.
Who Is Shareda Robertson?
Robertson is the second sister and the middle child in Brown’s family tree.
Like her sister and brother, Robertson was raised in Starksville, Miss., and grew up in a strict household.
Robertson had a love for softball according to a 2023 Philadelphia Inquirer interview with Arthur Brown, her father. There’s also an additional story that involved Brown admitting he and Robertson contemplated running away from home after being disciplined by their mom — which turned out to be a joke played by the sister.
“I’m like, ‘Hey, let’s run away.’ And A.J.’s like, ‘OK, let’s do it,’” Shareda said to the Inquirer in 2023. “So I look up and I’m like, ’Where’s A.J.?’ A.J. literally ran outside and halfway down the driveway. And I’m like, ‘We’re not running away for real.’ He was like, ‘I thought we [got] through!’”
Robertson has witnessed her brother’s rise to fame as an NFL star. She was also a source of comfort alongside Claybrook during Brown’s early years while he adjusted to fame and the scrutiny that came with it. They’ve subsequently watched their brother post back-to-back 1,400-yard seasons the past two years and play in Super Bowl LVII with Philly.
