New England Patriots receiver Antonio Brown arrived in Foxborough and somehow brought with him even more controversy than what he carried into Oakland during his brief ill-fated stint with the Raiders.
While no one actually believed that frostbitten feet or an outlawed helmet would keep him off the field there, rape allegations and a civil lawsuit may very well prevent him from playing here with the Patriots, should the NFL determine enough in their investigation to either suspend AB or put him on the commissioner’s exempt list.
Because of the uncertainty that now surrounds his active status – not to mention his ability to pick up the complex New England playbook and earn Tom Brady’s trust on the fly – Brown’s arrival in Boston hasn’t been quite as exciting or optimistic as it first seemed to be for Pats fans when word of his impending arrival originally got out last Saturday.
