A former teammate of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown said issues related to the superstar's professionalism have been "brewing for years."
On Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com provided comments from several current and former members of the Steelers roster about Brown's recent falling-out with the franchise. One passed along a story about head coach Mike Tomlin telling the team why the wideout often received a pass for tardiness.
"[Tomlin] essentially told the group: 'We'll tolerate it now because of what he brings on the field, but the minute production stops, you don't overlook it,'" the ex-Steeler said.
