Antonio Brown has been dealing with an ankle injury for a very long time. Despite being in a lot of pain, he gives his heart and soul in every play. Brown claims that no one can blame him for not trying his best on the field. Antonio gives it his all.

The former Bucs’ player still tried to play without any complaints. The staff gave him some unsafe painkillers. At the time, Antonio did not know that these were ruled harmful by the NFLPA. He gave his all to the team until he could not anymore.
