Tom Brady played a key role in the acquisition of Antonio Brown by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. The veteran NFL quarterback personally vouched for Brown, whom he played with while still with the New England Patriots. The Bucs brought in the former Pittsburgh Steelers man on a short-term deal.
AB played a key role for the Pirates as they made their way to the Super Bowl LV title earlier this year. He started the 2021 NFL campaign right where he left off last season. Brown had 201 receiving yards and 1 receiving TD prior to today’s game against the Miami Dolphins.
