As expected, the running back didn’t speak out against his friend respecting the closeness between the duo. “He’s still one of my close friends,” said Bell. “Like you won’t hear me talking bad about AB at all. Obviously, I understand things happen, but he’s one of my closest friends that I’ve been around.”

The veteran player however did say that despite being a good human being, Brown was victim to some terrible decision-making from his end. “Close teammate, overall good person,” said the running back. “Obviously, some bad decision-making sometimes but you know, he’s human. He’s not perfect.”
