Amid allegations from a former personal chef that he used a fake COVID-19 vaccine card to subvert NFL protocol, Antonio Brown, through his representatives, is claiming he has received the vaccine. Brown’s girlfriend has also denied knowledge of text messages that are alleged to have been sent by her to request that the chef procure these forged documents.
The Buccaneers, too, are denying that any of the vaccine cards they received pictures of seemed suspect. In a statement released shortly after Brown’s ex-chef went public to The Tampa Bay Times, the team did not intimate that its status as one of the first clubs to achieve 100% vaccination was in jeopardy.
