WATCH: Tom Brady – Antonio Brown Connection Looks Strong in Buccaneers Preseason Drill

Antonio Brown is arguably one of the most controversial figures in the NFL in the last decade or so. At the peak of his career, the former Pittsburgh Steelers man was without a doubt the best wide receiver in the game. But his career suffered a fall from grace in the last 2-3 years. A baller who was once the most wanted wideout in the league was without a team in 2020.
But Brown had a friend in star quarterback Tom Brady. The former New England Patriots superstar convinced Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach, Bruce Arians, to give AB a chance. The Bucs signed Brown on a short-term deal midway through the 2020 NFL season and it turned out to be a major success.

Coach Arians has complete trust in AB, despite his troubled past. But at the risk of jinxing it, it seems like Brown is now a changed man. Looking fitter than ever and with a bunch of players that believe in him, he still has tons to offer the Bucs.
