Retirement has been a mixed ride for the former Pittsburgh WR. Following the acrimonious departure from the Buccaneers, AB has stepped into multiple fields in the short spell away from the gridiron. Both Brady and Brown have experienced a similar path upon hanging up their boots with varying degrees of success. This might be the reason why Antonio Brown feels he has done it all in his life and career.

In light of his endeavors in football, music, and the boardroom, Brown has witnessed many sides previously unknown to him. His latest update to his fans on Twitter propagates on the belief of his success which has led him to proclaim the GOAT title.

The former Bucs WR has consistently been in the news over the last 2 years, despite quitting the NFL in 2021. Brown would seldom come up in the conversation for flirting with a return to the NFL, which has never seriously materialized. His subsequent career in music has seen him attract quite the publicity but not for the reasons he’d hoped for. Brown has made the news for the underwhelming concerts and passive fan excitement during his performances. The tweet from the 7x Pro Bowl winner will incite contrasting emotions from his fans.

In the latest update from the SB LV winner, Brown goes on to claim the Greatest of All Time tag. While responding to a fan, he’d tag their tweet and share, “Let me Call God I’m not trying to do his job ! AB the Greatest All Time most influential most uncontrolled”. Although he retained a sense of humility, the tweet perfectly captures the magnanimous nature of the retired superstar.

Following the tweet, many fans will be inclined to agree with his words, while others will incessantly refute his claims. But if there is one superstar many don’t have a case against, it’s Tom Brady. And the same can be said for the argument in favor of TB12 being the GOAT of the NFL.

Brown can claim the GOAT status to his liking, and he probably has a strong case in his position. But for the overall GOAT status in the NFL, few will disregard Brady and his successful decades in the league. The former Patriots QB has amassed success in every field he has taken an interest in over the last 2 decades. After winning 7x SB titles in his NFL career, he has been successful in launching his brand, TB12 to the masses.

He’d further cement his legacy after becoming a stakeholder in 3 reputed sporting institutions. Brady would announce his intentions of being an owner after acquiring a stake in Las Vegas Aces, before expanding to the Raiders and recently to Birmingham CFC. Despite the early days with Brady at the helm, the teams have had a positive swing in their favor.
