“Ever Felt Like Memory Loss?”: Antonio Brown Once Gave an Honest Admission on Affects of Getting Hit Hard During Plays

Pro football is one of the wildest sports, and often players get injured due to rash gameplays. The wide receivers and tight ends especially get hard hits from the opponents throughout the season. All they can do is just get up again and run for the next pass. It happens to be a part and parcel of the game. Players like Antonio Brown are some of them to have received countless hits in their careers. Although it seriously affects athletes, the former WR claims he had no problems due to it.

While speaking in an interview a few years ago, Antonio Brown touched on this issue. The hosts asked Brown, looking at his past, whether “he ever felt like memory loss?” The Seven-time Pro Bowler instantly replied with a big No.

“Imagine as a football player, you know, you don’t son, at the regular games. Maybe fortunate for me, you know. I have been blessed to the point where I haven’t lost any memory,” he said on the show. He explained that being a footballer, the athlete should have the skill to control chaos and find a way out of the mess.

However, the irony of the situation is that, per reports, Brown’s erratic behavior could be due to a disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). His mixed reactions on and off the field are said to have connections with it. However, this disease cannot be diagnosed until death and can only be found during the post-mortem.
