For the past few weeks, Antonio Brown has been on an apology tour where he has been acknowledging mistakes he made during a whirlwind 2019 year that saw him discarded by three different teams and thrust into an NFL investigation over multiple off-field allegations.
Earlier this week, Brown appeared on “The Breakfast Club” for a nearly 40-minute interview he spoke on everything from his hopeful return to the NFL to his stance on the newly revived XFL.
If you had any thought of him playing in the reboot of the league, Brown pretty much put those doubts to bed with his comments.
“That’s lower-class football,” Brown said. “I don’t support XFL, man. If it ain’t the highest level, man, I’m not playing … I don’t want to go chill with 60 dudes every day and guys jealous ’cause AB getting all the touchdowns, AB getting all the girls they wishing about, you know?”
Brown on Tom Brady:
“You got to have a relationship with the quarterback,” Brown said. “Quarterback is everything. Especially for a wide receiver, you’ve got to have a relationship … (and) I just think Tom is a special quarterback — his leadership and him affecting the guys around him, just putting players at peace and encouraging them to work as hard as he work.”

“He think he the best, I am the best,” Brown said of his successor. “Ben (was) trying to force him the ball to make him the guy … Everyone want to protect the little kid and come after me these days.”
Brown on his issues with Big Ben:
“I could’ve handled myself better,” later saying he’s “forever grateful for Ben.” But he also didn’t hesitate to rehash his issues with Roethlisberger.
“I think it was all an act with him,” he said. “Guys around him could never really see eye to eye … There’s rules, and then there’s Ben.”
