Antonio Brown’s final moment in the NFL is one of the most memorable of all time. The former Pro Bowl receiver was last seen giving the fans deuces as he trotted off the field at MetLife Stadium. His Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in the middle of a game with the New York Jets when the moment happened. Brown broke the internet with his decision to walk off the sidelines during a game. Most couldn’t believe that this was the way Brown’s legacy would finish its final chapter on the field. Now Brown is telling his side of the infamous story.
On a recent episode of MILLION $ WORTH OF GAME, Brown discussed what he was thinking during the moment. According to Brown, there were so many variables involved in the situation. First, the star receiver was frustrated with Tampa QB Tom Brady. Brown claims that Brady was upset with him over not taking a contract that Brown felt was disrespectful. Also, Brown stated he was dealing with an injury that the coaches did not listen to him about. The combination of issues seemed to bring Brown to the brink. Which caused the receiver to split during the game.
Antonio Brown Was Frustrated With Tampa Bay
Brown’s departure did not sit well with the Buccaneers organization and was the last time he was seen in the league. AB’s career was once heading directly to Canton as a Hall-of-Famer. However, his last three seasons have left a sour taste in the league. Brown never played one game as a member of the Raiders. As the receiver and the organization were at odds from the moment, he joined the organization. But Brown was a part of the Super Bowl winning Buccaneers team from 2021. However, his numbers might not have been what one would expect from such a talent.
Brown’s career is still Hall-of-Fame worthy. Multiple Pro Bowls, four-time All-Pro, and is a member of the 2010’s All-Decade Team. Brown has literally done it all as one of the best to ever play the game. However, his off-the-field antics and legal issues have put a black eye on his extraordinary legacy.
