Antonio Brown has buried the hatchet with his former mentor and teammate Tom Brady over a call. The 36-year-old former wide receiver is considered one of the most controversial figures in modern football history with many peculiarities.
Drafted in the sixth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010, Antonio Brown had a remarkable eight-year run in Pittsburgh. He earned seven Pro Bowl selections and twice led the league in receptions and receiving yards. However, tensions with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and practice absences led to his eventual trade from the team.
Following his exit, Brown’s career came crashing down with short, catastrophic stints at the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots in 2019. After a suspension for legal issues, he joined Brady at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning a Super Bowl. His time with the Bucs ended dramatically in 2021 after an on-field outburst and subsequent controversies involving Brady.
Brown, who stayed at Brady’s South Florida house during the season, took multiple jibes at Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen amid their divorce rumors. He fueled speculation by hinting at an affair with Bundchen, sharing photoshopped images and even one that appeared to show her in bed with him.
Brown continued stirring the drama into early 2024. He also accused Brady of the reason why he left the Buccaneers.
Despite the turmoil, it seems Brown has since apologized to Brady. In a clip posted on his X account this Tuesday, Brown seemingly asked for Brady’s forgiveness during a phone call.
You helped me succeed, man. You came and got me in the dirt, champ. Helped me be a champion, man. Helped me be a part of greatness, witness you be so great as a leader and as a person. I never took those things for granted, man. You always special to me. No matter the emotions I try to betray, man, I only got respect for you and everything you did for me. I couldn’t live on without letting you know that as a man I got nothing but the upmost respect for you and asking for your forgiveness.
Antonio Brown can be heard in the clip
In the video, a voice resembling Tom Brady is heard accepting Antonio Brown’s apology, wanting to put things in the past. He was also heard expressing a desire to hug Brown if he were nearby.

While the interaction seems heartwarming, Brown has a history of doctoring images, videos, and audio, casting doubt on the authenticity of the audio. As of now, Brady’s representatives have not responded.
Despite mending ways with Tom Brady, Antonio Brown’s controversies show no signs of ending
Antonio Brown, who attended former president Donald Trump‘s Philadelphia rally the other day, sparked some fresh commotion. Brown alongside his ex-teammate Le’Veon Bell endorsed the Republican candidate as election day looms in the USA.
While Bell is facing criticism for his misogynistic t-shirt, Brown is also not spared. Brown has been criticized for throwing Trump/Vance towels at the Steelers vs. Jets game at the tailgate. The ex-Steelers player getting handsy while signing a supporter’s chest also didn’t fit right with the fans.
These are some of the recent incidents. Brown has been called out as racist for multiple unfiltered comments in the past months. He tweeted a rather NSFW post about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce following the Kansas game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Similarly, he also targeted a slur at Younghoe Koo, placekicker for the Atlanta Falcons, passing it on as an accolade.
