An NFL offseason can take many different forms, but none is better or more relaxed than that of a team fresh off a Super Bowl win. The sense of accomplishment gives players more freedom to explore life beyond the game and enjoy themselves before it’s time to get back to work.
That’s exactly what wide receiver A.J. Brown did. The star took advantage of his time off to ride what he called a rollercoaster — though it looked more like a spinning carnival ride — and the experience was so intense it even had him praying to make it back to the ground safely amid all the adrenaline.
A.J. Brown Desperately Begs Employees To Stop ‘Rollercoaster’ Ride
Before the 2025 NFL season kicks off, players are making the most of their final moments with family and away from the football field. While some choose a quieter, more laid-back lifestyle, others chase adrenaline and new experiences. Brown seems to have found a middle ground.
At a theme park, the wide receiver agreed to get on a ride that appears to be a spinning carnival ride, though he referred to it as a roller coaster, and he clearly didn’t enjoy the experience. In a video, Brown documented the entire ride, repeatedly asking for it to stop as he started to feel unwell.
“Lord, please. Let me make it to the ground. I’ll never do this again in my life,” Brown said, during the video.

When the ride finally stopped, the wide receiver began thanking God and breathing a sigh of relief, repeatedly asking for help to get off, saying his legs felt weak. He even asked the staff to take participants’ requests to stop the ride more seriously in the future.
“Hey sir when somebody say ‘stop on the ride’, stop. Like, that’s a no, you got stop it,” Brown said to the employee, who replied telling him they can’t stop it for safety reasons.
After the experience, the player decided to leave, saying he wasn’t feeling well and described the sensation as if all his body weight was pulling forward, like he was about to faint. Despite how rough it was for him, the video has brought plenty of laughs from fans, showing the wide receiver in a lighthearted, relatable moment, one that anyone who’s ever been on a carnival ride can easily connect with.
Brown will kick off the season with the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular season opener at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The wide receiver now looks to enjoy his final weeks of rest before gearing up for the season, where he’ll aim to defend his Super Bowl champion title.
