    A Pretty Convincing Theory Says CTE Is To Blame For Antonio Brown’s Bizarre Behavior

    A Pretty Convincing Theory Says CTE Is To Blame For Antonio Brown’s Bizarre Behavior

    by Connor Toole 12 hours ago

    As Dak Prescott recently proved, there is no shortage of divas in the NFL and the Steelers learned this lesson the hard way last season when they were forced to deal with the egos of both Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.

    After off of the roller coaster ride that was the former’s holdout, the team found itself once again dealing with some drama courtesy of the latter, who demanded a trade and would eventually get what he wanted when he was dealt to the Raiders after spending the offseason firing shots at Pittsburgh.

    Well it certainly could be. However, he's had problems of one sort or another most of his life.

    I don't buy the CTE excuse.

    Brown has always been a diva (especially after hearing Ryan Clark's memories of him from day 1) but the day he became uncontrollable was the day Dan Rooney died.

    Theories have to be proven.

    If he acted “normal” before the Burfict hit, maybe the most memorable shot he took and the one many reference to explain his erratic behavior and possible CTE, you could possibly accept it.

    But he didn’t. He was acting like a selfish jerk for a long time with all attempts made to keep it quiet.
    It’s been documented by many.
    I’m certainly not saying he doesn’t suffer from a degree of CTE, but I’m not buying it to explain him being a first class diva.

    But even if AB was a diva the steelers could control Brown before

    Maybe Brown would have acted in the same way without Burfict's hit, we do not know, but in the last few years it's been getting worse and worse and since last year it's really been out of control

    And for all of that, AB has never been penalized in any way and in fact was handsomely rewarded with more guaranteed money.

    Dan Rooney died in April of 2017. (He died the same day my step father died). The timeline clearly shows Brown spinning out of control after that. It was Dan Rooney that kept him under wraps.

    True, it could be the Cus D'Amato effect. Sorta like how Tyson went nuts after he passed away.

    Concussion Center at NYU Langone Medical Center says otherwise.

    And no one knows how many head injuries he may have really had...
