Former Steelers Great Antonio Brown Arrested For Attempted Murder

It has been seven years since All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a legendary run in the Steel City for nine seasons (2010-2018), which included seven Pro Bowl appearances and five All-Pro nods, Brown's career started to spiral downward. In 2019, he was traded to the then-Oakland Raiders before being sent to the New England Patriots. Both teams moved off of him after he was the subject of both tension and off-the-field allegations. He finished his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with whom he won a Super Bowl in 2020. Of course, the last fans saw of Brown was when he was running off the field mid-game without his pads on his own accord.

Brown is in the news again. This time, it is for awful reasons. According to Miami police, the 37-year-old was arrested Thursday on an attempted murder charge and extradited from Dubai to the United States. This stems from Brown's involvement in a shooting at a celebrity boxing match in Miami in May. Simply put, the former Central Michigan man has fallen off the rails ever since the end of his time in Pittsburgh. His career was Hall of Fame-worthy until the allegations started to pop up. Now, he is dealing with something even more significant. If convicted, Brown could face the rest of his life in prison.
