Brown prepared to follow 'The Patriot Way,' says agent

Antonio Brown is heading to New England with a full understanding of "The Patriot Way" and is willing to follow it, according to his agent.
"I'll just tell you that the Patriots are obviously a very solid, strong organization," Drew Rosenhaus said on ESPN. "They do things the Patriots' Way. They expect everyone to be accountable. They don't make any exceptions. I've discussed this with Antonio. And he wants to be a Patriot. He's prepared to go there, fit in, work hard, be like every other player on the team, do what's asked of him, do his job, and make it work. He's honored with the opportunity and he's looking forward to taking advantage of it."
Brown agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $15 million with New England on Saturday, shortly after he was released by the Oakland Raiders. The wideout was involved in a boatload of drama over his six-month stay in the Bay Area, continuing a trend that developed toward the end of his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Antonio had a robust free-agent market and certainly had a lot of options," said Rosenhaus, who also represents retired Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. "But it was hard to compete with New England and that amazing opportunity, that great franchise, and play with one of the all-time greats, Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick."
Brown won't be eligible to play against the Steelers in Week 1 because he wasn't on the roster as of 4 p.m. E.T. on Saturday. The Patriots still haven't announced his signing, but he's expected to be on the roster and in the lineup by Week 2.
"He wants to win a Super Bowl," Rosenhaus said. "It's a great opportunity for him to sign with a team that has dominated the football league for the past decade. It's a dynasty. The future is now for Antonio. This is an opportunity for him to do something that he hasn't been able to do in his illustrious career, which is win a championship. That's what he's looking forward to. That's immediately the goal. That's all he's thinking about right now."
Brown compiled a Hall of Fame-caliber resume over nine seasons with the Steelers before he was shipped to Oakland in March.
