| I've never been a professional athlete or even on a high school level, but I know a lot of folks are saying that Antonio's actions the past four years with Steelers, Patriots and Buccaneers is a result of a brain injury or what isn't discovered until death, CTE. I'm curious what everyone's take is on this. Taking off his uniform while on the field during a game and walking out, talking smack about his teammates one minute after the team released him then changes his tune to all "friendly" with a few of them the next.
I know there are some former football players here, I just want to see what you all think along with anybody else. I personally feel torn between it possibly being the affects of a brain injury and him just being a severely spoiled athlete who isn't getting what he wants every game. What do you y'all think? | |

| I do have some pro / semi-pro football experience. It's really hard to determine if he's dealing with the side effects of a brain injury just from seeing the news on him or if he is indeed just acting out for attention. The best thing to do to determine if it is CTE would be someone asking him about any of the symptoms others have felt. Memory loss, mood swings, etc. etc. | |

| I had a few concussions when I played semi. My mood tends to go back and forth, so I know it has screwed with my head quite a bit.
Like Uncle Lance has said, the easiest way to find out is for someone to ask and investigate Antonio Brown on this. I know he took a pretty bad hit during his last year with the Steelers, but then others say he's acted like this since High School at least. It really could be anything. | |

| I think you guys nailed the head on the nail on this one, but would A.B. be willing to answer those questions or take a "test"? I don't think he would be. He's incredibly big headed. | |

| I feel its a combination of both, CTE and his big baby act. He has that goofy quota to meet on his catches and yards per game to get his bonuses and he wasn't getting them like he wanted. That big hit he took with Pittsburg like mentioned before, I believe it was against Cincy (I may be wrong?), was certainly hard enough to do damage. | |

| He's an overinflated headcase. Until its proven or the more severe signs begin to show, all CTE is in his case is a coverup and excuse for his attitude. | |
