The ex-NFL WR is striving on his musical journey and pushing onto his side projects. He does not, however, spare a thought to criticize all who render disparaging remarks regarding him. Stephen A. Smith of ESPN is one of them.

Troubles aside, Antonio Brown is one of the most gifted NFL players. He is a well-known figure known for his solid on-field talent as a WR. He made it onto multiple teams as a journeyman in the NFL and made a fortune doing so.

Antonio Brown doesn’t back down if any reviewer has a harsh take on him. Even though he was in the NFL’s line of the field, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith became one of his sharpest critics. Whenever AB gets on the news, Smith never leaves a moment to make his harsh thoughts regarding the free agent WR heard.

It’s unclear why the ex-Bucs WR name dropped Stephen A. Smith. However, Brown may have let out all of his frustrations from the past few years in the tweet. AB may have turned to hip-hop to air his frustration out over him. Maybe a diss track could be on the way too.

Antonio Brown may sit out in 2022

Antonio Brown has not played since his bitter split with the Buccaneers in the 2021 season. And maybe he will never perform afterward either. After several breakups from respective clubs, the free agent All-Pro WR appears on an FCF telecast. He claims he will not play in 2022, implying that his NFL career is now over. He’s happy with what his off-field pursuits are.

Charly Arnolt asks AB on the broadcast whether he’ll be up later on an NFL ground in 2022. Brown was straightforward to it, mentioning, “Nah. don’t play yourself looking (for) me to play.”

Furthermore, a month ago, Brown made his intentions heard over Twitter he wanted to retire as a Steeler. He doesn’t want to play but will sign a one-day deal and get it done with the NFL and pro football.
