Antonio Brown is making a football comeback after all—just not in the NFL.
Brown told Rodger Wyland of WNYT that he plans to suit up for the Albany Empire of the Arena Football League after joining the team's ownership group. The seven-time Pro Bowler has not suited up since walking away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers midway through a game against the New York Jets in November 2021.
The act of defiance was likely the last straw for Brown in the NFL. Once considered arguably the league's best receiver, Brown has dealt with myriad off-field issues in recent years.
