Watch: Former Steelers Wide Receiver, Antonio Brown Seems to Have Switched Positions

NFL wide receiver, Antonio Brown may have not played in the league since September last year, but he still has been making trips to the field during this period of self-quarantine.

Antonio Brown shows off his quarterback skills

In a video he uploaded to Instagram on Friday, Brown was seen practicing football with his friends. While this may not sound very intriguing, the fact that he was throwing the ball instead of catching it, truly does. And, what a great show he put up! Brown threw some brilliant deep throws to Stefon Diggs and was rather convincing that he might just make it as a quarterback.

Brown was throwing to Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. When Diggs made a debut for the Minnesota Vikings in 2015, he was compared to Antonio Brown – one of the league’s best. Brown even said, “He could be better than me.”

Despite the comparisons, however, the two receivers seem to have grown closer over the years and have also been seen working out together often.

Training like a beast

Antonio seems to be in great shape and working really hard. A recent video of him emerged, where he’s seen training and improving his receiver skills at a fitness center.

Antonio was recently in the news for being charged to a felony burglary other misdemeanor charges earlier this year. The Pro Bowler will be on probation for 2 years and will be doing community service.

Brown was charged because of a dispute with a moving truck driver. He, allegedly, threw a rock at the truck and struck the driver after forcefully entering his cabin. Antonio’s lawyer said that the driver asked for extra fees after assisting the receiver’s family to move to Florida.

Moreover, a former trainer accused Brown was of sexual assault and rape in 2019. The New England Patriots signed him on despite the lawsuit for $15 million a year. However, he was let go when the matter became more serious.

Antonio Brown seems keen to return to the NFL and even hinted to it on Thursday in an Instagram post. It is speculated that he has signed with the Baltimore Ravens whose starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has even publicly lobbied for the team to bring Brown onboard.
