The self-quarantine nearly the entire population is participating in amid the COVID-19 outbreak isn’t much fun for, well, much of anyone.
The effects and restrictions of the virus spare no one, including the nation’s most well-known athletes.
But we’re all slowly learning to make do in these unprecedented circumstances — Tennessee Titans linebacker Jayon Brown included.
The Titans posted this video of Brown to the team’s Twitter account on Wednesday, with the defensive star stressing social distancing, while also explaining what he’s doing to pass the time.
“Just because we’re stuck in the house doesn’t mean we can’t have fun,” Brown said. “There’s a lot of fun things to do in the house. I’ve been taking up cooking… chef boy Jayon coming to you soon. Also, don’t be afraid to go outside and get your exercise in the pool or in the backyard… kick around a soccer ball and work on your skills. I’ve been working on my soccer skills.”
And if you’re not the best at Madden, this is your time to “catch up.”

Brown has been and will continue to be a force for the Titans defense in 2020 — after life returns to some degree of normalcy and sports return, of course.
The former UCLA linebacker posted 105 tackles (69 solo), three quarterback hits, one fumble recovery, one interception and one touchdown in 2019.
