Antonio Brown Career
After Brown entered the 2010 NFL Draft, the majority of analysts and scouts projected him to be a fifth or sixth round draft selection. He was ranked as the 37th best wide receiver by NFLDraftScout.com and was invited to the NFL combine, where he completed the entire workout and all the positional drills. Brown participated at Central Michigan’s Pro Day and decided to try to improve on his 10, 20, and 40-yard dash times after being unsatisfied with the numbers he clocked at the combine. He was able to improve his time in all three categories.
Using a pick received in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the sixth round with the 195th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He was the 22nd of 27 wide receivers selected in the draft, and the second by the Pittsburgh Steelers behind Emmanuel Sanders. He picked the jersey number 84, which he explained: “Eight times four is 32. Thirty-two teams looked past me, even the Steelers. So every time I go out there it’s a little added motivation.”
On April 28, 2021, Brown agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Buccaneers. Despite off-season knee surgery, Brown passed the physical, and the deal became official on May 25, 2021. The deal was worth $6.25 million, a $2 million signing bonus, and $3.1 million guaranteed. On September 22, 2021, the Buccaneers placed Brown on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He missed the Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Rams because he was still on the list. On December 2, 2021, Brown was suspended for three games by the NFL for violating the league’s COVID-19 protocols by misrepresenting his vaccination status.
In Week 17, during the third quarter of the Buccaneers’ 28–24 win over the New York Jets, Brown took his jersey, shoulder pads, glove, and shirt off and ran off the field into the locker room. Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said in a postgame press conference that Brown “is no longer a Buc”. Later, Arians spoke to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer after the game, explaining he tried to get Brown to go into the game and Brown refused, which is when he told Brown to leave. When asked if he saw Brown take his jersey off, Arians said he did and he had “never seen anything like it in all my years.” Tom Brady in the same press conference stated “We all love him, we care about him deeply, we wanna see him be at his best, unfortunately it won’t be with our team.”
Three days after the incident, on January 5, Brown released a statement claiming that Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had engaged in a cover up. Brown claimed that an MRI on his ankle showed “broken bone fragments stuck in my ankle, the ligament torn from the bone, and cartilage loss, which are beyond painful.” Brown announced he would undergo surgery for these injuries. Brown was officially released on January 6, 2022, and passed through veterans waivers two days later without a team claiming him. Brown finished the season with 42 catches, 545 yards, and four touchdowns in seven games played.
