It might be common knowledge to some, but there always seems to be more than a handful who come out and say that they were not aware or did not remember that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown actually comes from football bloodlines. In fact, his father was one of the biggest players in the league.
Of course that league was the Arena Football League, and the man is ‘Touchdown’ Eddie Brown.
Those who know anything about Antonio Brown’s background should be well aware that all was not always perfect when it comes to his upbringing, but he and his father have been able to reconnect over the course of his professional career, and Jeremy Fowler notes that that bond took another step forward recently when his father’s AFL jersey was retired.
