“Love You Pops”: Antonio Brown Shows Rare Appreciation for His Prominent Hall of Fame Father Figure

The quote goes ‘the higher you climb, the longer your fall’. No one encapsulates this as wholly as Antonio Brown. While he rose to fame and success rapidly, his athletic talents on the field are not an excuse enough to overlook his antics off the field. However, there are occasional times when AB tweets something that surprises people. Recently, AB put out a tweet congratulating a father figure of his in the NFL.

He has been taking obscene digs at his old teammates and tweeting incomprehensible words. However, this time it was different.

Sanders and AB: The unlikely duo

While the duo being friends is very unusual, the relationship AB has with Sanders seems very genuine and wholesome.

He also gave AB great advice about the glamorous life and had a deep conversation with the ex-wide receiver.
