Bold prediction from Brooks Koepka about Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown is an American football wide receiver who plays in the National Football League (NFL) for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his recent game against the New York Jets, the 33-year-old ran off the field into the locker room during the third quarter of the game. At the moment, they were 10-24 down. Nevertheless, his team went on to win the game 28-24.

The public wasn’t sure what to make of this. In a post-game interview, head coach Bruce Arians said, “He is no longer a Buc, alright? That’s the end of the story.” However, his teammate Tom Brady extended his support to him amid the “very difficult things” that Brown was going through.

Brooks Koepka, in this scenario, wrote on Twitter, “Hot take: AB will fight a Paul brother before the year is over.” Fans, on reading this, were aghast at the inconsiderateness shown by him. However, it wasn’t just his dismissal of mental health that didn’t sit well with fans. No, they also believed that the tweet wasn’t original! Let’s see what they had to say.

Amongst all this, Bryson DeChambeau chose to be considerate by extending his sympathy towards the athlete.
