Antonio Brown Rips Media After Return from Suspension: 'People Try to Bring Me Down'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown deflected blame away from himself and toward the media for its coverage of his three-game suspension for misrepresenting his vaccination status.

When asked about his time away from the team and head coach Bruce Arians giving him a second chance, Brown dismissed it as media-created "drama":

"It's a lot of drama. It's a lot of drama you guys create, a lot of drama that people create that want stuff from me. But that's just a part of life, a part of being in the position. I can't control what people want from me, I can't control what people write about me, I can't control what people say about me.
