Antonio Brown continues to stay in the news, despite no longer being an active part of the NFL. Shannon Sharpe, co-host of the FOX Sports 1 Show Undisputed, believes that Brown not playing in the NFL is not by his design. Here's what Sharpe had to say. [{ "selector": ".rngzq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".lxifc-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-175px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".aluwl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 321px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

"Don't let AB fool you guys thinking this is his choice. The NFL is saying, 'AB, you're probably not playing this year.' That has got nothing to do with AB. Because he played himself in three different locations. The Steelers, the Raiders, and now Tampa."

Will Antonio Brown play in the NFL in 2022? If one were to take the Brown at his word, then he has no interest in returning to the league. However, it's hard to see the former All-Pro receiver turn down an opportunity to play in a league where he has arguably been the best receiver in the game over the past 10 seasons.
