The issues with Antonio Brown have been widely publicized. Brown was the best wide receiver in the NFL according to many. However, he had some serious problems.
In just a few short months, he forced his way off the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rumors were that he refused a trade to the Buffalo Bills. Then he forced his way off the Oakland Raiders. Finally, he was released by the New England Patriots.
Since then, Brown has not been on another NFL team. He has also had a lot of very public incidents. It has caused a lot of people to worry about the former superstar.
That includes an ex-teammate, JuJu Smith-Schuster.
According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the wide receiver is concerned for his former teammate.
Smith-Schuster was teammates with Brown for the first two years of his career. He blossomed into a star in that time.
However, the relationship became fractured this year. It wasn't really Smith-Schuster's fault either. In fact, it seemed like he wanted to keep things strong. Brown, however, was constantly taking shots at the receiver.
He even posted a DM Smith-Schuster sent from before he was in the NFL. The DM was Smith-Schuster admitting he looked up to Brown. This accomplished nothing but making Brown look bad.
Despite all the issues, Smith-Schuster is still concerned. He points out that this version of Brown is different than the one he knew on the field. At the same time, he alludes to the fact that it might be because football was taken away from him that he is acting this way.
However, Brown was acting stranger and stranger before football was taken away. That seemed to be the final straw though.
Smith-Schuster seems to be on the same page as everyone else on the Brown front though. Concerned, and hoping he gets help soon.
