Former Steelers WR Antonio Brown Blames James Harrison for CTE
PITTSBURGH -- For years, many Pittsburgh Steelers fans have worried about Antonio Brown and any medical issues that could have come with a Vontez Burfict hit during the wildcard round of a playoff game. But the former wide receiver has opened up, and is blaming his former teammate for any troubles he's dealing with now.
Brown appeared on an Instagram live when he called out James Harrison for giving him Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, aka CTE. The long-time Steelers wideout said Harrison wore an illegal helmet, and after a hit, he felt different.
"I wanted to tell you guys that I think James Harrison gave me CTE," Brown said. "James Harrison had an illegal helmet for over 20 years in the NFL. And he hit me one time. And ever since he hit me I've been super aggressive. So blame James Harrison for my CTE."
Brown has denied CTE on multiple podcast appearances, but if he believes it's something real now, he's putting the blame on James Harrison.
Harrison responded with a comical tweet after he saw the news.
We won't know if Brown actually does have CTE, but his continued behavior will leave fans worried. His recent actions caused the mother of his children to call 9-1-1, and during that phone call, she accused him of showing inappropriate pictures to his son.
