Antonio Brown footage shows how different WR was before Tom Brady controversy
Antonio Brown has been involved in a lot of controversies over the past few years both on and off the field. From getting released by the Las Vegas Raiders without even playing a game to leaking Tom Brady's messages, Brown has done it all.
But that wasn't always the case. Throughout his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown was a joyful person who wasn't involved in any controversy. Ben Roethlisberger once claimed that Brown is the best wide receiver that he has played with.
After hearing what Big Ben said about him, here's what Antonio Brown said about his quarterback:
"Anytime you got a great quarterback with two championship rings, like a competitor like Ben and say that man, that's just the fuel to the fire and it's definitely gratifying. Definitely humbling. It's a honor to have him say that about me."
Life moves fast. Here is Antonio Brown talking about Ben Roethlisberger circa 2014 or 2015. Antonio looked so happy at this time. #Steelers https://t.co/Qm2Ud321WU
Apart from being a joyful person, Antonio Brown was a beast on the field in Pittsburgh. A case could be made that he was the best receiver in the league during his prime years, and not many would disagree with that.
Brown had 837 catches for 11,207 yards and scored 79 touchdowns in 130 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since leaving the Steelers, Brown signed with the New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now that he is out of the league, a return seems unlikely.
Antonio Brown's last moment in the NFL was historic
The last game that Brown played in the NFL was against the New York Jets. He stormed off the field after a verbal altercation with head coach Bruce Arians, and since then has been out of the league.
If that was the last time we saw Brown on an NFL field, his last moments will be remembered forever. Nobody has seen a player do that before in the league, and it's possible that it won't get repeated either.
Since being released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown has entered the music industry and has gained new fans through his rapping skills. Despite that, he is still involved in various controversies and it won't be a surprise to anyone if we see his name floating in the news for years to come.
