In terms of talent, Antonio Brown is one of the 10 best players to ever put on a Steelers uniform. It's what has come after that has really stained his legacy.

Since leaving the Steelers, a slew of legal issues and social media rants bashing his former team have led many to sour on the former All-Pro receiver. His latest tirade took aim at former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster, saying that the Steelers tried to make the USC product a better player than Brown.

And the guy they did wanna make better than me fumbled [our] whole season," Brown said. And they still gave him MVP because they didn't wanna give me the fifth one in a row."

Brown then hinted that this played a big part in him wanting out of Pittsburgh.

What would you do if your own team betrayed you? They tried to make the No. 2 be better than you... how do you give a guy who fumbled our season the f-king MVP? You know why? Because they're jealous of AB."

Brown is of course referencing the 2018 game in New Orleans agains the Saints in which Smith-Schuster fumbled late in the fourth quarter, which led to the Steelers losing and ultimately cost them a playoff spot after starting the season 7-2-1.
