Antonio Brown is back with antics so bizarre that NFL fans are joking that his brain is going to one day be an incredibly useful tool for scientists, and therefore, potential trouble for the National Football League.
In a video that’s been making the rounds on social media after he posted it to his Instagram Stories, the former Pro Bowl wide receiver is seen wearing an incredibly strange outfit as he takes one-handed swings at golf balls.

“You gotta be ambidextrous,” Brown mumbles before taking a right-handed swing at a golf ball.
“I knock s— out,” he says in another part of the clip.
The video then ends with Brown standing on top of a golf cart as the woman taking the video tosses him a yellow ball that he then swings at with his club. After making a light connection, he begins to do an extremely bizarre, almost seizure-like dance.
One viral tweet, which racked up over 45,000 likes before AB deleted the original video from his Twitter, joked that his medical records could “defend the NFL.”
Since forcing his way out of the league in 2021, the now 35-year-old has become so synonymous with the phrase “CTE” — due to his litany of both bizarre moments and downright criminal acts — that he’s attempted to co-opt it for himself by rebranding it as “Catch The Energy.”
When Brown was in the NFL, before his antics started to derail his career, the former Pittsburgh Steeler, Oakland Raider, New England Patriot, and Tampa Bay Buccaneer was one of the best pass catchers of his generation, as he posted 928 catches for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns.
Once Brown left the Steelers, however, his career was never the same: he never played in a single regular season game for the Raiders and played in just one game for the Patriots due to multiple allegations of sexual assault.
