After unnecessarily trashing Tom Brady time and time again over the last three seasons, Antonio Brown has finally decided to show some gratitude towards the man who helped him get a second chance in the NFL.
Antonio Brown played one game with Brady and the Patriots together in the 2019 season before getting cut after disturbing sexual misconduct allegations surfaced. At Brady’s insistence, his Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed Brown late in the 2020 season to help their Super Bowl push.
Brady and Brown formed strong on-field chemistry during their brief tenure together. Brown helped the Bucs to a Super Bowl 55 championship, even catching a touchdown pass from Brady in the big game.
As everyone recalls, Antonio Brown’s ridiculous antics continued during his tenure in Tampa Bay. During a 2021 game against the New York Jets, Brown took off his jersey and ran out of the stadium shirtless following a disagreement with the coaching staff. He was released soon after and never played again.
After taking several cheap shots at Brady, including comments about his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, Brown took to X/Twitter to express love for his former teammate. Brown also shared an audio clip of a phone call between the two.
“Love my Teammate & Friend #CTESPN
He helped me out the mud & I’m forever grateful for him
I’m sorry for all my side of everything.”
The Patriots and Buccaneers received immense criticism for giving Antonio Brown chances to save his playing career despite his many off-the-field issues and destructive antics. Brady was one of the few players who lobbied for Brown to get another chance, but that wasn’t enough to keep the former All-Pro receiver happy.
At any rate, it appears they’ve agreed to let bygones be bygones.
Antonio Brown Ruined His Chance At A Hall Of Fame Career
Brown’s statistics and accomplishments alone suggest he deserves to be in Canton, but it’s hard to envision voters giving him the nod after his long list of legal issues and problematic behavior.
Some want to overlook Brown’s legal troubles and focus entirely on what he did as a football player. But the fact that four different teams couldn’t wait to get rid of the All-Pro receiver says it all.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.
Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.
That was then, and this is now.
It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.
The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.
Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.
Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season
Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.
He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.
He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.
Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
