@@YochananGso it was because AB was black and none of it was his fault? Gotcha, I guess we'll ignore the fact that 50 other black guys on the team didn't run into this problem and AB was having these exact same battles with the Steelers for years before. Who was coaching the Steelers again? Oh yeah, Tomlin... a black guy. But hey, I guess he just didn't understand what it's like to be black too. Gtfoh
@@YochananGand "the guy" in the video is Maxx Crosby, a perennial all-pro who is very open about his struggles with addiction and talks about recovery often.

@@YochananG what are you talking about? You said AB's problems were due to white people not being able to understand black people. But AB wound up on the Raiders because the Steelers didn't want to deal with him anymore. The Steelers coach is Mike Tomlin, a black man. Tomlin repeatedly said that AB was impossible to work with. I think you need to take your own advice bro, you're refusing to acknowledge what anyone else is saying because you're being stubborn and stuck in your ways.

@@walker715"we" do but well but most current and former NFL players that have concussion history don't behave this recklessly. A concussion doesn't absolve AB from the responsibility to go get treatment when he is made aware of his issues. He is rational enough to deliver apologies that come off sincere. I have a family member struggling with serious mental health issues but she is getting help with her limited resources. So AB and those defending him can't use "mental health" as an excuse. Because if AB had actually hurt somebody in your family you wouldn't be commenting about "societies lack of understanding about concussions and mental health" on a video calling him out. 🤷🏽♂️

Sure was. He was unstoppable and nice. On his way to being the next T.O or aomething but he was way to wild and the nfl was done with black crazy wild WR's after all the problems from T.O. , Ocho, etc.

@Jeromethedp AB is a Hall of Fame player. Top 10 all time WR imo. But I would not be surprised if he doesn't get inducted. He made way too many enemies. It's not a production issue
"Kings", ironically, what AB needed more of was humility. Not "king mentality". Be humble and treat others with kindness. It'll find it's way back to you.
The admission that he was playing games and then do that the next morning,he wanted cut and to be done with football, I think he's been trying to play it off that he's actually been scared to play since the big concussion hit,he played different after that,only really going for deep ball and mainly being a decoy,no more slats over the middle
Lynn Swann took harder cheap shots from the Raiders than AB did in his entire career. Mr. Swann is in his 70s and sounded better than both guys who are currently running for President while AB has carried himself like a complete jackass. I hope he can get the help he needs and turn it around.
Nope. He was always like that. It was just him getting money. People that knew him said he'd go crazy when hw got money back when the Steelers drafted him
I'm surprised it's not mentioned more often. The NFL probably doesn't want anyone talking about that too much... he's a very fine example of just how violent the game is. He basically died after that Burfict hit and some new insane bizarro version of his consciousness took over. Fans don't wanna think about that... the NFL doesn't want fans to think about that.

@@E3litecompanyI genuinely believe that hit wasn’t the only cause - it was just the straw that broke the camels back. He was always a bit of a diva the same way most receivers are - but let’s not act like he got some new team mates and that caused him to act like this. He’s not the same person he was in 2015. Not even close. The man is struggling. I genuinely believe that he had gone through a lot back then - but due to his head trauma his brain just didn’t know how to handle it. That would explain why people say he’s great to be around. No pressure, no cameras/outside influence he’s a great guy to hang around. But once he’s in a situation that adds a little pressure - his brain just can’t process it properly. I genuinely believe that man. Something happened. He could just have mental health issues like bipolar, or something along those lines. But he wasn’t always like this, I don’t think you truly believe that.

Never underestimate the amount of physical and mental trauma that playing football can deliver to the human body and mind. We always see big hits and injuries as these things that can heal over time but we never talk about the mental aspect of it all. Throw in concussions and your entire personality and way of processing and thinking can completely change. It can also bring about issues such as diseases and mental issues, that you never really experienced but were lying dormant within you. However due to blows to the head as well as the money players make, the people you hang out around outside of football becomes incredibly important. You need nurturing, trustworthy people who love you for who you are to help keep you on the right path and look out for your best interests. AB to me, is a story of an incredibly talented player who just got caught up in the entire whirlwind of it all. From head trauma to who he hung out with to undiagnosed issues, it’s a sad story about someone who’s a genuinely nice person deep down being severely affected by living the life of an NFL star player.
Social media is a small part of it - it’s clearly mental health issues if not severe brain damage due to head trauma. AB was likely going through a lot mentally, and his brain just couldn’t handle it. I don’t think social media caused this - but it definitely didn’t help.
When he played there was no one better. IMO he’s a HOF WR. Dude is battling mental problems so he’s become an easy target for people. Loved watching him play and hope he can get the help he needs before something tragic happens.
for yall that don’t know ab and julio and obj was going back and forth for top wr for like 5 years man what a time to be alive prime ab was cold just had to be there and im a seahawks fan
Numerous interactions with him - he was always nice as could be took time out with my nephew to play football I looked forward to seeing him every year remember names always wanted to lift together
💯 they said in college he wasn’t like this until he started breaking records and getting real money he start doing wtf he wanted showed his true colors for sure
As a Steeler fan it’s so bittersweet. I was glad that Raiders deal went south cause i was mad AB went left on us the way he did. I wished AB the best but that stung seeing him go get a ring in Tampa
@@thisthresh4248 im not trying to and i dont care to "understand" what happened to AB. Im just opining that the hit he took from Burfict was a devastating blow. One that cause permanent head trauma. What do you think cause all this since you "understand"
@DarkAngleProduct wow your life is as empty and pathetic as your choice in sports teams. Sorry your life sucks dude, I really hope it gets better for you
Its wild, if you watch interviews with teamates in the early Pittsburgh years, they all talked about him seing the hardest worker on the team and a rock solid dude
@@charlespearson2666how? The 2022 season was one of Davantae’s best seasons in his career. 1500 yards, 14 tds, and 100 receptions. If anyone other than mcdaniels was the coach, he’d probably have way more yards and touchdowns than that. Not to mention when Carr did leave in the 2023 season, you can see Davantae’s stats drop and his connection for the team.
Say it louder for the ppl in the back. Steelers would’ve BEEN a cellar dweller for the past 5 years or so if it wasn’t for Tomlin and his ability to get the most out of these flawed ass rosters
Nah, 2017 was a straight up bad year for us, getting rid of musgrave was a horrible decision that we shouldn’t have done, Downing was a clear step down for our entire offense, and not to mention the fact that we got rid of Murray, when he was a fine running back for us last year asides from injuries.
He was never the same after he got paid, that hit had nothing to do with it. Look up his teammates from the STEELERS talking, they all say money changed him
@@nickwatts7640a lot of people forget that the former bucs head coach was a Steelers offensive coordinator and he said that he knew ab was a problem before that hit and TB was the only reason that they signed him
@@EaglesNation24 Yeah, I remember sports radio talking about that.. They always said if we had them during Bens prime it'd of been SB's... BUT Steelers brass always bull-headed!
@@itsnuthinbutsunshineit’s a biographical movie about the neuropathologist who discovered CTE. He made the discovery while doing an autopsy on a former NFL player…
@@TheLilSiebsdoesn't mean he's right or that it's accurate ... That player could have taken way more head injuries then AB over the years... You need lots and lots test subjects with no variance and that's impossible so the best you could ever do is speculate
@@TheLilSiebs lol look at the study they used and it is all cherry picked results with players that had issues beforehand. Thats why the families donated the brains in the first place. The dude that "invented" CTE literally just took fucked up brains and said "yup this was caused from micro concussions" but never elaborated that the NFL players they chose had issues before entering the league. This is why you need to actually read and comprehend things instead of taking some ones word for it.
@@mikeyerian2562 Aaron Hernandez had great seasons as well; ALL while suffering from CTE. He was about to sign a $40 million dollar contract before he got busted. It is CTE. Junior Seau had " great seasons with no issues " after San Diego; you kidding ???
@@RARochester You don't know if he was suffering from CTE. In fact, there is no scientific proof that you can suffer from CTE. The diagnosis is always made after a death, simply buy looking at the brain. Maybe there is one person they think had CTE, but frankly it's all pseudoscience at this point. Not saying it doesn't exist, but it's no proven that it is a real thing.
It's honestly sad. Like this dude was it, he was on a whole different level. N what he could just left you in amazement. A rare player that you most wanted to see. Prob the case that what made him crazy was also what made him great.
Dude really changed after that dirty as hit; I ain’t gonna judge just wishing better for this man. Goodness, AB is mos def one of the all time gr8est players. Killer Bees!!!
He was such a star and so much fun to watch. I remember being so excited that he played for my favorite team. Then came that hit from Vontaze Burfict and he was never the same. He’s got to have one Hell of a case of CTE. It’s not even irritating or funny to watch him act out, it’s just plain sad.
AB was never the same after that hit vs the bengals i swear people gotta really go look at that he was never the same that man knocked a part of him that never came back
People keep saying that but he was a shithead even in College. He got kicked out of one of his schools. Tomlin just did a good job of keeping his behavior under wraps.
Dude was on the same team as the best QB in the NFL and bailed DURING A LIVE GAME. I do not understand why ppl were surprised. Dude was the sane at every stop. They just tolerated it in PIT for so long ppl forget he was ALWAYS a problem. He owes PIT his career.
no 😂 he really doesn’t. he easily did enough & more for the steelers. tis a simple case of CTE. read a book, look up stats or something lol. the comment isn’t overlooked, it’s being ignored for being a non-credible statement.
True, but AB got beat into stupidity by the game. Vontez Burfict nearly took his head off in a game in Cincy, and he’s been acting VERY strange ever since! I know a guy that was on the team at Western Michigan when both he and JJ Watt were there, and he said AB was the coolest guy you’d ever want to meet, and JJ was the biggest asshole on the planet as their third string TE at the time before he transferred to Wisconsin and started playing D.
Bucs Fan, his 1st season with us showed a ton of potential, HOF levels of potential. He got himself a SB touchdown and a SB ring. That second season meltdown was infuriating and embarrassing. AB could have been a top 3 WR in NFL history.
Lots of players, former players, and front office offered him help but he refused. You can’t help some people, especially with what we now know now about head injuries and how all those hits to the head literally changed the way his brain works. It’s a tragedy. He was a first ballot HOF.
Ive never seen someone so quiet and respectful, turn into a diva, faster than antonio brown.....at the end, i wanted to root for him, but the way he was moving i just couldn't.

Mental health is very real. I used to think it was a "You could stop if you wanted" situation kinda like how people say USING isn't additive it's choice. With mental health slowly destroying me, Iv become so lonely, not that I can't talk or hangout with others, my mind and body won't let me. It has its ups and downs and that's the most controlling part about mental health, it's scary. One minute it's you in ur head, the next it's another personality destroying everything around you.

The old "I want to reuse the same comment for likes and attention" 😂
So are you sure Vantez Burfict wasn't the same after being blind sided by Hines Ward? Because Vontez was never the same after that hit.😮
I don't know why that's so hard to see
Glade my boy burfict knocked the crazy in him f shitsburg
That hit really changed AB mentality
He won a Super Bowl and scored a touchdown in that Super Bowl after this happened
No it didn't, he was already this way.
it’s so weird people still say this he was crazy in college too lol
A lot of people say that it didn’t do anything but that’s when I noticed the Change with him.
@@frankirwin5684 yeah sure bud, any proof of you saying that or just yapping?
AB seems like the type of guy who NEVER got punched in the mouth, and then carried himself accordingly lol.
AB crazy as hell! We saw that down here in the 813.
for yall that don’t know ab and julio and obj was going back and forth for top wr for like 5 years man what a time to be alive prime ab was cold just had to be there and im a seahawks fan
Obj no tf are u talking about obj came in late and julio and AB were still the 1 or 2
And dhop
Obj had 2-3 good years and sum fye ctahes and sum swag
It was more like Julio, Calvin, and AB
Tried to sneak obj in there 😂
Numerous interactions with him - he was always nice as could be took time out with my nephew to play football I looked forward to seeing him every year remember names always wanted to lift together
He was never the same after the big hit in when he was with Pittsburgh.
Maxx is the realest.
TEXAS BOY! 💯
he coulda been sucha great raider 😔
Money just amplified his true personality.
Ryan Clark said he told Pittsburgh years ago. Dnt do it.
Money or fame?
He was always the same wasn't the money. Confidence in his abilities. Toe Touch Tony top 5 all time
💯 they said in college he wasn’t like this until he started breaking records and getting real money he start doing wtf he wanted showed his true colors for sure
AB definitely needs a Netflix special on his mental state.
As a Steeler fan it’s so bittersweet. I was glad that Raiders deal went south cause i was mad AB went left on us the way he did. I wished AB the best but that stung seeing him go get a ring in Tampa
One hit changed this man’s life!!
...of crack?
@@moonshineswiggs6020 Vontaze Burfict
Nah, he dropped in the draft because he was a diva pain in the ass. Tomlin kept him under wraps, but it was always there.
@@chrismitchell4665truth.
Dumb take
The guy is one of the most talented Players the NFL has seen
He just did whatever he felt like doing at that moment. People look at his actions and forget dude was literally so insanely good.
He was never the same after that hit.
vontaze burfict ended AB
@@tothedomepce if you believe that then theres no hope for you to understand what actuallly happened.
Dumb take
@@thisthresh4248 im not trying to and i dont care to "understand" what happened to AB. Im just opining that the hit he took from Burfict was a devastating blow. One that cause permanent head trauma. What do you think cause all this since you "understand"
@@sempertito3515 lol there is a comment with 1.3k likes who agree with me, clown
I love the Fck AB chants afterwards by the Raider Nation
I love the eff the raiders chants by AB
@@DillonDank u love balls on ur chin
I love the fck @DillonDank chants by me
@@DarkAngleProduct hahaha
@DarkAngleProduct wow your life is as empty and pathetic as your choice in sports teams. Sorry your life sucks dude, I really hope it gets better for you
Its wild, if you watch interviews with teamates in the early Pittsburgh years, they all talked about him seing the hardest worker on the team and a rock solid dude
Carr to AB would've been special!!
How when Carr 2 Adams wasn't even special smmfh
@@charlespearson2666 That was McDummy's fault.
@@charlespearson2666how? The 2022 season was one of Davantae’s best seasons in his career. 1500 yards, 14 tds, and 100 receptions. If anyone other than mcdaniels was the coach, he’d probably have way more yards and touchdowns than that. Not to mention when Carr did leave in the 2023 season, you can see Davantae’s stats drop and his connection for the team.
@@johnmile7919 that's what I was saying
God bless MIKE TOMLIN!!!! TRUE DEFINITION OF A PLAYERS COACH!!!
Say it louder for the ppl in the back. Steelers would’ve BEEN a cellar dweller for the past 5 years or so if it wasn’t for Tomlin and his ability to get the most out of these flawed ass rosters
@@austinwright4445steelers ain't won crap in 13 yrs u ppl color blind
Love Maxx! ❤
AB should have played with the Jack Del rio Raiders with Marshawn Lynch
Nah, 2017 was a straight up bad year for us, getting rid of musgrave was a horrible decision that we shouldn’t have done, Downing was a clear step down for our entire offense, and not to mention the fact that we got rid of Murray, when he was a fine running back for us last year asides from injuries.
He was never the same after Vontaze Burfict scrambled his eggs 😔
It’s just his choices nothing mental about it?
He was never the same after he got paid, that hit had nothing to do with it. Look up his teammates from the STEELERS talking, they all say money changed him
@@nickwatts7640a lot of people forget that the former bucs head coach was a Steelers offensive coordinator and he said that he knew ab was a problem before that hit and TB was the only reason that they signed him
@@Cjfidjenebshdhdhrvyou talk to him?
Dumb take
I can say from experience Max is so spot on with that take!
Being from the burgh..SO GLAD we got the best of AB... He was so loved here and we had so much fun with him
You guys had a sick duo. Leveon and AB. Statically probably one of the best duos season wise. You guys sure did run them to the ground though.
@@EaglesNation24 Yeah, I remember sports radio talking about that.. They always said if we had them during Bens prime it'd of been SB's... BUT Steelers brass always bull-headed!
Everybody gotta watch the movie concussion again, and then you’ll see AB a prime example of it
Lol wAtCh a mOvIE aNd YoU wiLL UnDerStAnD bRo
@@itsnuthinbutsunshineit’s a biographical movie about the neuropathologist who discovered CTE. He made the discovery while doing an autopsy on a former NFL player…
@@TheLilSiebsdoesn't mean he's right or that it's accurate ... That player could have taken way more head injuries then AB over the years... You need lots and lots test subjects with no variance and that's impossible so the best you could ever do is speculate
@@TheLilSiebs lol look at the study they used and it is all cherry picked results with players that had issues beforehand. Thats why the families donated the brains in the first place. The dude that "invented" CTE literally just took fucked up brains and said "yup this was caused from micro concussions" but never elaborated that the NFL players they chose had issues before entering the league. This is why you need to actually read and comprehend things instead of taking some ones word for it.
@@TheLilSiebsdoesnt mean shit
I truly believe that behavior is from CTE
After the Burfict hit he had a couple of more great seasons with no issues. It's something else.
CTE and EGO are a terrible combination
@@mikeyerian2562 Aaron Hernandez had great seasons as well; ALL while suffering from CTE. He was about to sign a $40 million dollar contract before he got busted. It is CTE. Junior Seau had " great seasons with no issues " after San Diego; you kidding ???
@@mikeyerian2562Just because they perform well doesn’t mean everything is all right. Trust me on that lesson, it’s a painful one to learn.
@@RARochester You don't know if he was suffering from CTE. In fact, there is no scientific proof that you can suffer from CTE. The diagnosis is always made after a death, simply buy looking at the brain. Maybe there is one person they think had CTE, but frankly it's all pseudoscience at this point. Not saying it doesn't exist, but it's no proven that it is a real thing.
I hope he accepts the help he needs. The dude was so gifted, and he's got next to nothing to show for it
That kick to browns punter in the face was best thing ever !!!
Cte got him
Dumb take
One of the best to ever do it
He was one of the greatest Wr's the Raiders ever had🏆💪🏈😎...
That hit in Pittsburgh fucked him up!!! Collateral damage of the NFL
Dumb take
man i’m a steelers fan and grew up watching the dude. ion even need to say much 😭😭
ION….apparently YO’ON don’t spell much naaammm sayyyinnnn?! 🌚🌚🌚
@@TrillionTonMegalith 💀💀
Burfict never got out of his head. God Bless AB.
It's honestly sad. Like this dude was it, he was on a whole different level. N what he could just left you in amazement. A rare player that you most wanted to see. Prob the case that what made him crazy was also what made him great.
Dude really changed after that dirty as hit; I ain’t gonna judge just wishing better for this man. Goodness, AB is mos def one of the all time gr8est players. Killer Bees!!!
Dumb take
That CTE hit made him go crazy😂
Dumb take
He was such a star and so much fun to watch. I remember being so excited that he played for my favorite team. Then came that hit from Vontaze Burfict and he was never the same. He’s got to have one Hell of a case of CTE. It’s not even irritating or funny to watch him act out, it’s just plain sad.
He was a habitual line stepper.
AB was never the same after that hit vs the bengals i swear people gotta really go look at that he was never the same that man knocked a part of him that never came back
Correct
facts
True 🌿
That cannot be overlooked but what ryan clark was saying about him even before all that has merit as well
Probably the most brutal hit I’ve seen in an NFL game. That was legit scary when it happened.
That hit changed the trajectory of his whole career. I truly believe that.
Dumb take
@@sempertito3515 ok
Worked out for AB. Super Bowl Champ ✊🏾
Most talented wr to ever play the game
That jersey still sitting in my closet. What could have been.
Turn that 4 into a one and then you'll have a Tim Brown jersey. Boom!!!
Man ain’t been the same since he got laid out in that Steelers Bengals game
People keep saying that but he was a shithead even in College. He got kicked out of one of his schools. Tomlin just did a good job of keeping his behavior under wraps.
@@steve6513exactly. He legit ALWAYS been this ab. Ppl are just ignorant asf
@@steve6513 yeah that was Steelers fans coping and making excuses for him and became trendy to say until he left Pittsburgh
Dumb take
But that phone call release with the editing was just pure *chefs kiss*
AB documentary gonna be legendary
Dude was on the same team as the best QB in the NFL and bailed DURING A LIVE GAME.
I do not understand why ppl were surprised. Dude was the sane at every stop. They just tolerated it in PIT for so long ppl forget he was ALWAYS a problem. He owes PIT his career.
This Comment is the most overlooked in the comments ‼️
no 😂 he really doesn’t. he easily did enough & more for the steelers. tis a simple case of CTE. read a book, look up stats or something lol. the comment isn’t overlooked, it’s being ignored for being a non-credible statement.
Say no to drugs ladies and gentlemen
Wasn’t drugs it was that piece of trash Burfict
True, but AB got beat into stupidity by the game. Vontez Burfict nearly took his head off in a game in Cincy, and he’s been acting VERY strange ever since!
I know a guy that was on the team at Western Michigan when both he and JJ Watt were there, and he said AB was the coolest guy you’d ever want to meet, and JJ was the biggest asshole on the planet as their third string TE at the time before he transferred to Wisconsin and started playing D.
Bucs Fan, his 1st season with us showed a ton of potential, HOF levels of potential. He got himself a SB touchdown and a SB ring.
That second season meltdown was infuriating and embarrassing.
AB could have been a top 3 WR in NFL history.
One of the greatest players of all time. But also a psychopath at the same time.
When social media is your only outlet, this is what happens. He needed someone and nobody stepped up
Lots of players, former players, and front office offered him help but he refused.
You can’t help some people, especially with what we now know now about head injuries and how all those hits to the head literally changed the way his brain works.
It’s a tragedy. He was a first ballot HOF.
Awww how sweet
Dumb take
He clearly wanted out of Oakland which is unfortunate they could’ve had Adam and brown😢
Why would you want to give up 30 million all you ever dime? Nobody was going to give him that..dude just a crazy stupid MF
He only wanted out of Oakland when Tim Brady hit him up about joining him in Tampa bay
@@danielwiley9828Brady was on the Patriots when AB was on the raiders
@@andrewseidl7590was still Brady who hit him up. Antonio brown was on the pats with Brady for like a month
@@danielwiley9828joining him in New England *.
For those short few years, he was the greatest wide receiver I’ve ever seen play football.
Ive never seen someone so quiet and respectful, turn into a diva, faster than antonio brown.....at the end, i wanted to root for him, but the way he was moving i just couldn't.
Probably CTE
@@Tkk861 yeah unfortunately....sad to see...ruined a hall of fame career....he could maybe still make it, but I doubt he gets the votes.
Dumb take
I believe that dude has brain damage
Still my favorite wide receiver of all time
CTE is a wild thing
It’s called sociopathic behavior.
Yeah, no, no it’s not. Not even close
Sociopath? No. Grandiose narcissist? YES
Your brain has been rotted by tik tok 😂
Mental
nah he wanted a ring

Took the hardest hit in nfl history
Vontaze is somewhere admiring the chaos he’s caused. Smh
CTE ...IS A MF
Has nothing to do with that he’s a arrogant prideful piece of shit
he doesn’t have CTE

Dumb take
Mental health is very real. I used to think it was a "You could stop if you wanted" situation kinda like how people say USING isn't additive it's choice. With mental health slowly destroying me, Iv become so lonely, not that I can't talk or hangout with others, my mind and body won't let me. It has its ups and downs and that's the most controlling part about mental health, it's scary. One minute it's you in ur head, the next it's another personality destroying everything around you.
AB was a monster on the field.
He was never the same after his brutal knockout
that hit from burfect really changed his life
