Antonio Brown has spent two days practicing with the New England Patriots after signing with the team last week. After seeing him practice, Stephon Gilmore says Brown can ‘do it all' and is glad he is part of the team.

The Patriots began their season against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 on Sunday Night Football. Following the unveiling of their sixth Super Bowl banner, New England proceeded to show everyone that they are back and better than ever.
Furthermore, New England proceeded to blowout the Steelers by the score of 33-3. There's no doubt that their win over the Steelers was impressive. However, their best win came off of the field with the signing of Brown.
Brown was unable to suit up in Week 1 due to signing later in the week. After missing Week 1, Brown is expected to be part of New England's game plan on offense in Week 2.
Earlier this week, the newly signed receiver received a lawsuit against him for sexual assault. The NFL currently has an ongoing investigation and will be working with Brown and his accuser to gather their evidence.
Therefore, there is still a chance that the veteran receiver gets placed on the Commissioner's Exempt List ahead of Sunday's game. Nevertheless, Bill Belichick is taking it day-by-day with the talented receiver.
Despite already having Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, and Phillip Dorsett; the Patriots could use someone with Brown's skill set. Even at 31-years-old, Brown is still one of the NFL's best pass-catchers and Tom Brady will have another weapon to target in the offense.
Gilmore is among the players who are excited to get to work with Brown—especially since he doesn't have to cover him outside of practice anymore.
