Antonio Brown A ‘No Show’ For Start Of Oakland Raiders OTAs

Just as he did with the Pittsburgh Steelers — Antonio Brown was a no show for the start of Oakland Raiders OTA’s.

Brown skipped part of the Steelers OTAs last year, blaming the “media pressure” that was being put on him, and he seemed to lash out on social media on Monday in response to Ben Roethlisberger’s interview with KDKA News.

He wrote, “two face” on Twitter before the interview aired.
