Few star players in the NFL have had a tougher and more controversial time over the last couple of years than veteran wide receiver Antonio Brown of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“Good dude, always had a great relationship with him. So for me, it was easy,†Suh said. “Obviously, ‘BA’ [Bruce Arians] was very public with what his expectations were for AB, and he followed through. So I give him all the credit for doing that. And I think that’s really all he needed, was to understand what was expected of him. That’s really what 90 percent of people in the world [want] — give me the expectations of what you need from me and then let me go and be an adult. And that’s really what he did.”

Antonio Brown wasn’t the superstar receiver most remember him being with the Steelers while with the Buccaneers this past season. He wasn’t the major draw for opposing defenses. Although he did enough to make an impact and help Brady win a seventh Super Bowl title.
It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out from here as Brown will be a free agent. He has expressed a desire to stay with the Buccaneers, and they may take him up on the prospect of staying together for at least another season with Brady under center.
