“He Was Cool as Sh*t”: Antonio Brown’s Ex-teammate Details WR’s Tainted Run at Franchise Before Tom Brady Rescued Him

The former teammate of Tom Brady was one of the most talented wide receivers in the league. He was on the road to success. However, some unfortunate incidents and wrong decisions did not let him stay in the league for too long. Recently, a former teammate of Antonio Brown talked about him and shed some light on what his experience was with the former Super Bowl-winning WR.

Many know AB as the notorious player who threw his jersey and belongings on the turf and ran toward the locker room when he was in the middle of a game. Fans and fellow players were taken aback. Although TB12 tried to save his former Bucs teammate’s image, it did not help. But that isn’t all to his image. Many people forget that there was a completely different side of the 34-year-old free agent, according to Maxx Crosby.

How did Crosby describe Antonio Brown? Was he a pleasant person to be around?

Maxx Crosby is a 25-year-old defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared on ‘Bussin’ With The Boys.’ There, the host asked him how was it like to train with AB.

Surprisingly, Crosby only had affirming words for the former Vegas wide-out. “If AB sat here with us right now and like it’s just us in the room, no cameras nothing, you would love AB…he’s down to earth. He’s a great dude…He was cool as sh*t.” 

Even though No. 98 was all praise about a good-natured AB, he did confess that as soon as the athlete-turned-rapper used to leave the Raiders training facility, problems would chase him. There was some or the other thing about the ‘Pit Not The Palace’ rapper on the news.

What went wrong with AB and the Raiders?

He went through some issues with his frostbitten foot. Then the NFL instructed him to replace his banned Schutt Air Advantage helmet. He then filed a grievance on July 30. Two weeks later, Brown returned to camp, but on August 18 he once more quit the team after losing his complaint.

The seven-time Pro Bowler did not play a single game with Las Vegas. The team released him in 2019. He released a statement on Instagram that said that he wanted out of the team. Following a confrontation with general manager Mike Mayock, the Raiders nullified the guarantees in his contract by fining him nearly $215,000 for acting in a way that hurt the team. Then in 2020, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers added the star QB to their roster.

What could have been a career worthy of numerous accolades ended in despair in January 2022.
