Antonio Brown is living his life after a bumpy rollercoaster ride in the NFL. After walking off the field, Brown has not returned to the league. It has halted his illustrious career, and there is no information if he will resume it or not. But he has special backing from one of the best athletes in pro football.

After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut him off the roster, Antonio Brown did not pursue his football career. Instead, he took off to another track. Brown took over his rap career and became the President of a sports venture. Even though AB is no longer in the league, he has become an internet celebrity.

Antonio Brown has a special affection for Cowboys legend Deion Sanders. And their fondness for each other goes a long way back. In 2020, AB shared a picture alongside Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and warmly called him “Pops.” Moreover, Brown sees Sanders as a father figure who inspires him a lot.

Deion Sanders also posted an identical image with Antonio, where the Hall of Famer calls him his son. Brown was yet to make a rebound in the NFL, and Sanders was eager to witness his comeback.

Deion Sanders opens up on struggles with negative thoughts

Fans will remember Deion Sanders as one of the greatest DB-WRs in NFL history. His career was almost flawless, but that doesn’t imply his living was simple. In his sit-down with Antonio Brown, Sanders admits how he once had thoughts of ending his life. Struggling with these thoughts was one of the toughest challenges the always jovial Sanders suffered.

In a video by Bleacher Report on Twitter, Sanders tells Brown that he experienced a very low point in his life. But Neon Deion overcame those demons and became one of the most recognizable athletes in the league’s history. Now Coach Prime helps young athletes of Jackson State find their way into the NFL.
