Antonio Brown Talks Vontaze Burfict Hit, Downplays CTE Speculation

Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has made a lot of noise for his off-the-field antics ever since he walked off the field against the New York Jets while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. Brown has found himself doing the podcast circuit, and last week he appeared on the PBD Podcast hosted by Patrick Bet-David. On the podcast, Brown discussed how he doesn’t like the speculation that he has Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and specifically from the hit he suffered from Vontaze Burfict in Pittsburgh’s 2015 Wild Card round win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
