Antonio Brown “NEVER Had a Mental Health Diagnosis” Just a “High IQ”!
Just one day after news surfaced that Antonio Brown accused the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of trying to pay him to commit himself…
CelebnSports247.com reports that Antonio Brown is still on his cross controversy media tour talking to any media outlet who will let him state his side of the story in the fallout between him and the Tampa Bay Bucs.
If you recall, AB was cut from the Buccs earlier this month after cameras captured him taking off his shoulder pads, jersey and undershirt and leaving the field while his team was on offense against the New York Jets.
Brown told “CBS Mornings” co-host and former NFL player Nate Burleson that the on-field incident was triggered by an ankle injury that he says was not taken seriously by his coach.
As you know, head coach Bruce Arians has disputed that and stated Brown actually complained about a lack of targets and refused to go back in the game. That’s when he confirmed he told him to ‘get the f outta here.’
The incident of Brown leaving the sidelines had social media thinking he was suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, also known as CTE.
Brown made it clear on “CBS Mornings”:
I never had a mental health diagnosis…I never had a issue or problem. I don’t take pills. I just got a high IQ.

Antonio Brown clarified that it was not a brotherhood like it seemed:
CBS will air rest of Antonio Brown’s interview Friday. Nate Burleson today: “He basically was saying this wasn’t a family like everybody thought it was. From the outside looking in, it seemed like I was quitting on my brothers, he said. Some of these guys aren’t my brothers.”
