Antonio Brown’s life changed completely after the hit. It seems like the WR was suffering from CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, as per the claims in the latest video. Moreover, Vontaze Burfict’s hit changed the way Brown played the game.
Vontaze Burfict attempted to sack Brown in the game as he received the ball for a potential touchdown. This attempt led to a head injury and, later, a concussion. In the latest video, the former Steelers’ WR can be seen talking differently compared to his current style.

Another user said that CTE comes from repeated head trauma, as per the official medical definition. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that Brown did suffer from it.
