The Antonio Brown and Tom Brady reunion tour is bound to happen. The free agent wide receiver and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have come to terms on a one-year deal, per multiple reports.
According to Andy Slater, it seems like Tom Brady used an unconventional way to talk some sense into the enigmatic 32-year old. Apparently, the 6-time Super Bowl champ reportedly tapped on Tony Robbins and got the renowned motivational speaker to talk with Brown earlier this year in order to get the latter's head straight for an eventual return to the NFL.
Tom Brady also called @TonyRobbins and got him to have a very long conversation with Antonio Brown earlier this year so the WR would be on track for his NFL return, sources tell me. https://t.co/0Km8JMrQdt

Well, if these reports are indeed true, then it seems like Brady made the right call.
Brown and Brady had a short stint as teammates with the New England Patriots last season. After being waived by the Oakland Raiders, the Pats signed AB to a one-year deal. However, after playing just one game with New England, he was waived by the team after more allegations of his sexual misconduct surfaced.
Now, the 5-time All Pro member will get a chance to redeem himself and get his career back on track. In addition, he will also get another chance to play with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, who, apparently, has been looking out for Brown's welfare.
As of today, Antonio Brown is still suspended by the league due to multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Nonetheless, the suspension will only be up to next week. Brown should be able to join his new team shortly after COVID-19 protocols. It's likely that the 7-time Pro Bowler will make his Bucs debut against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9.
