New Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Antonio Brown is living with Tom Brady in Derek Jeter's home. Brady is renting out Jeter's Tampa house while he plays for the Buccaneers.
Brady, who will get to throw to Brown this week since AB is now eligible to practice with the Buccaneers, spoke to Jim Gray of Westwood One about the former superstar wide receiver living with him.
Via ProFootballTalk:
“Antonio is a good friend of mine and, again, we’ve gotten to know each other pretty well over the years,” Brady told Gray.
“So he’s just getting settled and I know he’s looking for places, but it’s just nice to be able to have him around. And we’re getting to work and he likes to be integrated into what we’re doing, big transition for him moving across the state really not knowing anyone. So, you know, again, just trying to be a great teammate and help someone out who’s a friend of mine.”
Antonio Brown will make this Buccaneers debut in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay lost to New Orleans in Week 1 of the season, so Tom Brady and Co. will have revenge on their minds.
After defeating the New York Giants in Week 8 on Monday Night Football, the Buccaneers are now 6-2 on the season. With Brady leading the way on offense, Tampa Bay looks primed for a Super Bowl run, especially since the defense is also playing well.
Against the Saints, all eyes are going to be on Brown, who hasn't played in the NFL since Week 1 of last season when he was with Brady on the New England Patriots.
