Prior to Antonio’s Brown departure from the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was one of the most feared wide receivers in the NFL. However, ever since he joined the Oakland Raiders, his career has only gone downhill. Here is a timeline of Antonio Brown’s fall from grace.
March: Signed with the Oakland Raiders.
July: Missed many days of training camp due to frostbitten feet acquired during a cryotherapy session.
August: Refused to attend more training due to his helmet being deemed unfit by the NFL.
September 4th: Publicly posted both his fines for missing practices and an argument with Mike Mayock, the general manager of the Raiders.
September 6th: Brown apologizes to the Raiders and posts a video with head coach John Gruden.
September 7th: Brown is released from the Raiders and posts a reaction video on YouTube.
