It’s not hard to guess, they were talking about Antonio Brown. The former wide receiver is notoriously known for getting into hot water every so often. He has been known to wreak havoc on and off the football field. Surprisingly, Vick’s first impressions of the wide receiver are far from the chaotic version we see today. Sharpe asked Vick if he saw any signs in Antonio Brown that indicated that he needed to be monitored.
Vick, who spent his final season in Pittsburgh, had nothing but positive things to say about his time with AB. He said that Brown believed in himself. Vick said, “He was smart, understood the system. He would just get a little agitated if he didn’t get the ball.” Vick proceeded to explain that apart from getting a little aggravated when he was not given the ball, he was a great teammate.
Antonio Brown was not like how he is today
Vick essentially handed out a sparkling report card with regard to Brown’s behavior and temperament. The words Vick used to describe AB don’t fully align with the antics the NFL world has seen of late. Shannon Sharpe did not hold back from taking shots at Antonio Brown during his conversation with Vick. Sharpe expressed his disappointment about AB’s behavior. He said, “Look you could be a jerk to a lot of people- I don’t think you should be a jerk- but someone that reached out, gave you an olive branch picked you up propped you up, you do them [sick] like this?.” Vick agreed with the Hall of Famer and said that he too found this disturbing.
