Tom Brady has remained supportive of his peers, and Antonio Brown is no exception. He was also the only one vocal about mental health and how it could have compelled the receiver to commit to absurdity. However, this was not the first time one saw Brady helping AB.
Brady also reportedly gave AB his house to stay during his tenure with the New England Patriots. And then Brady helped the wide receiver get another chance at the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, shrugging off all such events, Antonio shot back at Brady, claiming that the quarterback was not much of a real friend, but they just share a professional relationship.

During his first public appearance on Friday after Sunday’s game in the ‘Full Send Podcast’, the former Buc expressed his real opinions on Tom Brady. In the midst of his candid thoughts on Brady, the host asked if Brady has ever helped him become the kind of player that he is now.
AB wasn’t very humble about it as he said, “How’d he help me? What, he helped my career to come back? Because I could help him!”

Later on, being asked about the time when Brady gave him his house to stay in, the 33-year-old replied, “I stayed at his house? I got my own money, bro. Do you guys know who I am? I don’t need to stay at no one’s house. I got my own houses. Guys do that to influence you guys in the public, like, ‘Oh, he’s at Tom’s house? Then he’s maybe a good guy.”

The receiver shrugged off the whole incident as if nothing had taken place. In fact, AB goes on to insult Brady for being humble towards others. Moreover, later in the conversation, Brown also revealed his inclination towards Ben Roethlisberger over Tom Brady. The reason he gave was that Ben threw him more “rock” than Brady. Although, one should know that AB spent nine seasons with Ben compared to three with Brady.
