Emmanuel Sanders: Brown should get another chance with 'right team'

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders believes Antonio Brown deserves a shot at redemption.

"He should have an opportunity to be back in the league with the right team," Sanders said Thursday on "Speak For Yourself."

He added: "When he steps on the field, he's a game-changer. He's a guy that can literally beat you by (himself)."

The receivers were teammates for four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010 to 2013. Sanders said he considers Brown a future Hall of Famer.

From 2013 to 2018, Brown led the league in receiving yards (9,145), touchdowns (67), and catches (686).

However, the perennial Pro Bowler wore out his welcome with both the Steelers and then-Oakland Raiders.

Brown played one game in 2019 for the New England Patriots. The team released him after a woman said she received "intimidating" texts from the receiver after she accused him of making an unwanted sexual advance toward her in 2017.

The 31-year-old remains under investigation by the NFL for allegations of sexual assault and sexual misconduct.

After spending much of the season attacking the NFL on social media, the wideout attempted to repair his burned bridges in February, saying he owed the league an apology for his behavior.

However, Brown's football future was further complicated by a January incident that involved the driver of a delivery truck. The receiver was charged with felony burglary conveyance, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief in April.

"I don't want him to go out how he's going out right now. I want him to have an opportunity to revamp himself," said Sanders. "Because we all need second chances."
