Antonio Brown’s NFL career: A timeline, from Canton-bound to menace
What we saw from now-former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown during Sunday’s game against the New York Jets defies logic.
It was one of the most bizarre things we’ve seen around the NFL in some time. Making his second appearance since returning from an NFL-mandated suspension, Brown was seen leaving the field during Tampa Bay’s comeback win over the Jets in New Jersey.
The seven-time Pro Bowl pass-catcher apparently refused to go back in the game when confronted by Bucs head coach Bruce Arians — who told reporters after the game that Brown had been released.
It’s just a continuation of multiple incidents surrounding Brown since he was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2018. And in reality, it’s eye-opening.
“‘We thought he was a jumper,” one security officer said, adding that as Brown went through the tunnel, he asked state troopers for a ride to the airport, but they told him, “No,’” ESPN’s Jennna Laine reported Sunday evening.
