Antonio Brown Behavior Pre-Burfict & Post-Burfict Hit
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 18. 06. 2020
- On January 9, 2016, Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver Antonio Brown engaged in head-to-head contact with Vontaze Burfict. The hit, initiated by Burfict would be sever enough to put Brown in concussion protocol. In an interview soon after the on-field altercation between himself and Burfict, the Steelers' superstar stated that the effects of the concussion lasted "only" 2 weeks. However, the concussion that lasted "only" 2 weeks would unfortunately prove to be life altering. In the NFL, there's three letters every NFL player wishes they never hear in succession. C.T.E. In today's video, we pull up multiple videos of Antonio Brown before his hit with Vontaze Burfict and after his hit and analyze the terrifying difference in behavior and characteristics. From Logan Paul to Shannon Sharpe, Antonio Brown seems to have made several enemies and has put himself in multiple scenarios that many may find uncomfortable.
What is C.T.E.?
C.T.E. stands for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. It's a neurodegenerative disease.
What is a neurodegenerative disease?
A neurodegenerative disease is a disease in which cells of the central nervous system stop working or die.
What are symptoms of C.T.E.?
- Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment)
- Impulsive behavior
- Depression or apathy
- Short-term memory loss
- Difficulty planning and carrying out tasks (executive function)
- Emotional instability
- Substance misuse
- Suicidal thoughts or behavior
Just to clarify, I'm not saying that Antonio Brown 100% has C.T.E., but his rapid change in personality and behavior is for a reason. There are causes for every effect.
Regardless of what Antonio Brown is currently going through, all I can personally offer is my prayers and hope that his recent behavior and characteristics are just a small phase.
Hope ya'll enjoy!!! Thanks for watching đđ

Who is here in 2021 watching this after he walked off the field with Tampa bay?
yo
yep!
Well Iâm here in 2022! đ€Łđ€Łđ
I'm here in 2022
Itâs 2022. Did you get CTE and lose a year?
listening to this instrumental for this long gave me CTE.
đđđ
Itâs the most nauseating instrumental
Itâs Pound Cake from Drake and Jay Z. I actually really like the song
lol far from the most egregious song used on sports videos, just watch any soccer highlight clip and youâll see what i mean.

Man he is a shell of his former self. I've never seen him so articulate and kind. He even has a different look in his eyes.
I'm not a Steeler fan so that how I remembered Brown. Then whenever the antics started I was like, "is this that same kid?"
I thought the same thing about his eyes too
This is a good video because you can see the change; it's sad because he was a nice guy
Oh his eyes look completely different, the look in his eyes are crazy
Hes older so of course duh
I came here following the Jets game. Pray for AB.
Prayers don't work. Never have, never will.
@@NeverTalkToCops1 guys look at me Iâm the cool and edgy atheist who canât let anyone have a nice thought or display a nice gesture because my narrative calls for me to be an absolute prick everywhere I go
@@NeverTalkToCops1 So there is no harm in trying is there?
In a Stanford study 95% of people who've played contact football 10 years or more have CTE. I played exactly 10 years and was having every single symptom so I had multiple CAT scans done. Sure enough my frontal lobe activity compared with a healthy person's the same age showed just how much my brain wasn't lighting up even half as much. I had to give up a scholarship to Appalachian State.
Now 10 years later my hands shake, I literally forget something I was thinking about just a second before. And so many other things that scare me. I've never been a violent person but now I seek out fights on impulse. Swear I was recently arrested, first time, for a guy cutting me off at a Hardee's. I don't remember kicking the fuck out of this guy's truck trying to get him out. He easily had 100 pounds on me but he took off. He told the officer that he was going to get out but the look in my eyes scared him. That scares me because I don't remember any of it besides the immediate anger and standing in the drive-thru with a crowd of people looking at me. Drove home and was promptly arrested the next day. The guy dropped charges if I'd pay for the damage and 2 years probation.
Im not some anonymous badass. The point is if you start having these symptoms see a doctor. They can't diagnose CTE until you're dead, but they can help you out tremendously. I've had no bad incidents since because I have a great neurologist.
dude! thats amazing to hear. Knowing that you had past issues and are now able to currently live incident free for some time is absolutely fantastic news. Reading ur story had me depressed and i honestly thought it would have a sad ending. It honestly makes me happy knowing you have found help. Wish you the best of luck man. đ
That's awesome, the general consensus and treatment for CTE I think will drastically change in the next 5-10 years.
I have it too i hit my head on iron cased pipeline knocked me off my feet
@@Subzero48xb actually you're lucky. The more research that comes out shows that even though multiple concussions can cause it, it's usually more the result of repeated sub concussive hits to the head. But I'd get your head examined if I were you. Don't wait till it gets debilitating.
I don't want you ending up getting arrested for something you don't remember doing. I could've gotten shot had that dude been armed.
@@bhb7406 I just saw your response but thanks man. That means a lot to me. Truly.
I think a hit like that can cause permanent damage and it's sad that AB isn't able to be out on the field doing what he does best. Prayers for this man!
Will smith should be Ina movie about cte
One hit. Let alone basically bouncing your brain around since you were in a peewee league. Has to do damage
He took another dirty helmet to helmet hit a year later from George Iloka against the Bengals, the same game Shazier got the spinal cord injuryđ„
czcams.com/video/KlU8WR5yQsU/video.html
@@jakez5227 ok but that hit was just disgusting it had to cause some permanent brain damage
No way you just said a high force impact to a head canât leave brain damageâŠ. Do people that hit there heads falling down stairs not have the same thing?
Iâm so lucky to be a Steeler fan. I was able to watch him in his prime. He was electrifying. When the ball was heading his way you knew heâd find a way to grab it. I canât remember him dropping a pass. Heâs without a doubt the best Iâve ever seen. Everyone watching that hit knew his life from that point could change and crossed our fingers.
I'm not a Steelers fan, watched him in his prime too. Less painfuil though
Brown out wide left, Rice right with Brady at QB......eeeeeee doggie that be good
He was amazing for sure! Larry Fitzgerald had more tackles than drops, as a receiver. Legit never seen him drop a pass until I looked up the montage on CZcams. Itâs short, and he had a very very long career
It's tragic. He was a hard-working WR before this hit. Different man woke up on that field.
Yes, unfortunately football has its costs
Not tragic at all AB still winning
@@randallwilliam3141 a guy that is a different person because of CTE isn't tragic just cause he's winning?
@@cerreta752 nope not tragic wanna know why? because AB wouldn't want you to feel sorry for him and call it 'tragic'.. know what i mean?
No what happens in the microtubulas that suspend the brain, or more correctly maintain its position in the skull tear. Think of them all little needles that flex and bend, when you get hit like that. Its like slamming a car into a brick walls at 35 mph. Except the brain has no seat belt. It slams against the skull that where the damage is done. It does not heal.
After he took off his equipment during the game I came back to rewatch that hit Burfict gave to him. I actually watch that game and I thought that was a hellacious hit he took. He really hasnât been right since.
I agree with you 100%!!
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!!!
As a Bengals fan I can tell ya "we've" noticed in real-time and have blamed Burfict for AB, and that loss. I also blame Marvin Lewis for the lack of discipline. Wasn't OK at all with it no matter how much I hate the Steelers. Even prior to the games outcome. Same with JuJu's retaliation the next year but I understood.
I sadden how many people seem to have forgotten about this hit. This is a real time viee ofnwhat the movie concussion was demonstrating.
People turning their back on him just the same.
He hit the turf like a lifeless object...a ragdoll. Burdick hit his head AFTER the ball was missed.....Browns head swung and his body fell to the field....looking lifeless...wow. I swear eventually parents with sense will NOT allow they children to play. What's the point of playing a game that can have LIFE ALTERING EFFECTS. little league coaches saying....hit hard....they teach it.....and when it happens.....they celebrate....wow. sports is fun...when it's NOT violent.
Never really noticed the look in his eye before and after. Seems more intense these days. Like he's always on edge.
he's currently one of the best receivers and the league and a champion. U guys were wrong đ

@@evergreatest8909 what were they wrong about
@@evergreatest8909 aged well
@@evergreatest8909 nah
After his departure from the Bucs game I read a news story that took me to a video on Twitter and then one of the comments on there led me to this video. Needless to say this is some truly eye opening stuff. I have been guilty of just judging him but there is definitely a connection to the hit he took. It really is sad because he has so much talent..
Antonio Brown has been like this long before that Burfict hit. He had issues in college and had to settle for a scholarship to FIU. He didnât even get to play at FIU, because he was expelled before the season started, for, among other things, punching a security officer on campus. He then went to Central Michigan where he had serious issues being late to practices and meetings, and also had issues throwing tantrums, even one where he wiped out his coachâs desk. That is why he fell to the sixth round. In Pittsburgh, he was always like this. They just did a really good job of covering it up. The minute he got paid he basically cursed out and threatened Dick LeBeau and several teammates have come out and acknowledged that he was always like this and that numerous people have tried to reason with him. Also, that there are even more stories about how he was than people know about. He was like this long before that Burfict hit.
Thank you for expanding on it, I've heard lots of people say he was always like this but never elaborate. I had no idea he had that many instances before the hit
Yes. The money and fame he got just encouraged the behavior that was already there.
People blame CTE (which you canât be tested for while alive), for everything.
bruh, i just looked at the blog you got this from and while some of it is correct, some of it isn't. he was never expelled from fiu, his scholarship was rescinded and they parted ways. nowhere outside of that blog and message boards can you find anything about him punching a security guard at fiu, there was a situation he was around when security came and it escalated and he ran. that blog is also the only place where you can find any mention of him wiping out his coaches desk at central michigan. im from pittsburgh, and brown had no major issues prior to 2017. you may want to get your facts from somewhere other than a blog.
@@smoothjulio CAT scan can reveal the damage, so in a sense you can be tested for CTE. They can't diagnose it until after death.
You can see a neurologist and get treated for it and at least get some help dealing with it.
@@samueld5418 Dude he had problems before. I'm from Pittsburgh too and I remember radio shows talking about how much of a problem he was going to be as soon as he got that big pay day.
Iâve been saying this for years. He was never the same after that hit and this shows the exact progression. Great job putting this together.
Nah, this is bs to absolve him of personal responsibility. Heâs always been an a-hole.
â@@Scott-xb7ov I agree and understand that CTE is a real thing..but AB is just a shit person. A legit scumbag, im sure CTE doesnt help, but this is a result of his self-entitled ego and immaturity.
Lazy dumb take
â@@Scott-xb7ov That was a big hit to the head, bro.
You are so lame đ if you bothered to read one thing on CTE, itâs still a theory by the way, that concussions do not cause CTE, itâs the subconcussive hits! Read once inawhile
I can honestly say i hadn't thought about this connection. Wow
I know he has it. I read 3 books and well he has ALL the symptoms!
Iâve had 3 concussions in my career and I have most of the CTE symptoms. I need to get checked out. They diagnosed me with PTSD and depression but I still feel incompetent. Thanks for this video
Hey man I'm really sorry to here that. You should definitely seek any form of aid possible. I wish u the best of luck. God bless.
Hey dude i'm concerned let us know for any update like tell them to give you an MRI
@@NFLGAMETIME thanks for the concern I will let you guys know. God bless
@ihateoregonians Satoshi Wow
stay strong brother, with professional help you will get better
Watching how AB talked and acted before the hit, and how he's a completely different human being today, makes me totally believe he is being effected by a CTE. I hope he gets help before its too late. I dont want to be watching in memoriam videos about this guy.
It's far, far too late once you start to see behaviour like this.
@@XYZ_55 once your brain takes a massive hit, it is already too late. The damage is done and it is permanent. Like most TBI all you can do is treat symptoms really.
That or just drugs ..what are the drugs given to him from the hit...could just be drugs ...I mean what good comes from drugs in the end
@@rileyfoster152 The drugs do not help a whole lot from my experience. All they can do is chase various symptoms. Pills to sleep, pills to prevent dreaming as they are frequently bad dreams. Any variation of anti depression drugs for depression, anxiety, irritability, etc.
The worst part is trying to get the dosages right. They will be low or high, low doesn't help, high turns you into everything you are not. Which is not much different than no treatment at all. Either way you won't ever be yourself again. Falling off them and getting back on sucks, its easy to fall off them.
In the movie Concussion some of the ex players seek help from the old team Dr who is also the players liaison to the NFL on head injuries. At least 3 of the players shown in the movie had serious problems it is not like no one was helping them or at least trying including their families.
AB was never the same.
The dirty hit on an unprotected wr
AB changed his life to this day.
He now has issues on and off the field.
He was cut by the Bucs.
ABâs speech is slightly
slurred like a punch drunk boxer.
Definitely has CTE.
He quit he didn't get cut
They shouldâve placed him on injury reserve and made sure he got MRIs. If someone breaks her leg they donât get cut from the team because they are injured, but if someone gets hit too hard it starts acting crazy they treat them like itâs their own fault when itâs a brain injury
@@rollandmakinano1744 I just made a comment about the same thing. He's so well spoken here... listening to him lately.. just sounds like he never went yo school. Alot of the shit he says doesn't make since and you're right he does slur all the time. Compared to how he use to speak anyway.
@@EddiXP He is getting worse and worse now. When you hear him talk itâs like listening to a 13 year old school bully. He sounded very intelligent 10 years ago when he was being interviewed.
Here after he walks out mid game. He definitely has cte. So sad to see
Yeah.
He must have CTE, reminds me of Ballers on HBO. Watching how well mannered, self aware, and the respect he showed his teammates before the Burfict hit, he's not the same guy. That's what CTE does. The NFL is just as guilty for this as anyone else. They continually let Burfict play after all his dirty hits. They don't provide lifetime medical insurance. It's a joke. Someone should interview his fam. I bet they could lay out the truth. The NFL needs to take care of their players and if AB has CTE, he shouldn't have been allowed to keep playing after being diagnosed. đđ§ â
Exactly. Theyâre just making fun of these players instead of taking care of them. But then they still want people to support them after the mess they do. Iâm 100% more supportive of the players that actually play endure these hits in the game then the owners and commentators just making fun of them.
Unfortunately CTE can only be diagnosed after death, so thereâs really no way to definitively say someone whoâs living has CTE and must stop playing, but when someone is showing signs of sever mental distress, CTE diagnosis or not, it would seem their coaches and team owners would put football on the back burner and get them some help.
I'm here after Tampa and watched AB as a Steelers fan before and after that hit. It's so sad. He needs immediate help with possible CTE or other mental health issues. We owe it to him. Tampa owes it to him. Somebody in the NFL please do something and help him now! There is no harm in looking into mental health issues. If I'm wrong no big deal.
bro he was 8 catches and 55 yards from a bonus and they froze him out chill
@@ProtonKoron he refused to go in.
@@ProtonKoron facts people donât know he was 1 td away from 333k bonus, 55 yds from another 333k, 8 catches away from 333k bonus. Heâs the closest to breaking Rices record too. If people payed attention to heâs Targets over the last 3 games a melt down was coming. Youâre absolutely right they froze fam out.
@@chuckk2fuego76 everyone knows that.
@@shawnriffhard actually fam by the comments majority of the people donât, they just think he threw a temper tantrum like usual. But he acted out because he was being forced to play when he kept telling Bruce he wasnât 100% to be on the field his ankle wasnât 100. Bruce fired him on the spot cause AB didnât go in when he told him too which is messed up. A player knows their body better than a coach.
I canât believe this hit was already 5 years ago. Still upset about ab turning on juju, but thereâs no doubt in my mind that the hit changed him, not saying cte for sure but definitely the tbi screwed something up
Yeah, I'm also super bummed about how those two's relationship turned out. Hope AB turns over a new leaf and the two are able to find peace over the "incident"
Brown could really use Juju's friendship right about now. Hopefully Juju reaches out as soon as he can.
He didn't turn on him man.. his mind is just messed up after the hit. You can't even take his words to heart
I feel bad for bro. This man was a hell of an athlete and he couldâve potentially been one of the greatest ever. That cheap shot by burfict was uncalled for and itâs a shame how that went downâŠ.I hope he gets the help he needs and the right guidance to walk a better path in life. The media tries to portray him as a villain but in reality he was a humble man and wanted to compete. Hope he gets the help he needs. đ
He is one of the greatest ever
@@agamjyotsingh5259 not one of the greatest ever, he didnât accomplish 1/4 as much as Michael Irvin or chad ochocinco, don hudson to name a few, those guys arenât even top 5, and those guys havenât even accomplished as much as the greats like Jerry rice or Terrell owens (stats) or Randy moss, dude had potential to be one of the greatest but his career ended short thatâs why weâre here commenting on this bc he had potential
@@user-gz2sd7ds1x he clearly had a better prime than ochocinco and Irvin no doubt. More all pro selection than either of them. Heâs a tier above them in terms of ability
@@agamjyotsingh5259 thatâs CAP. Chad ochocinco played 11 seasons and Antonio brown played 12. Brown had 915 catches, 12,164 yards & 68 touchdowns and ochocinco had 766 catches, 67 touchdowns and 11,059 yards which is baisically arguably one years stats apart and ochocinco didnât have no hall of fame quarterback he did it on a garbage bengals team who was never a serious threat or contender in the AFC let ALONE the division. Big bens success single handedly complemented Brown in Pittsburgh, ochocinco was never blessed with a good team or a good quarterback, any FOOTBALL HEAD knows this and will agree that ochocinco carried that offense. Michael Irvin is a 3 time Super Bowl champion, he played 12 seasons, 750 catches, 11,904 yards 65 touchdowns and was apart of a football dynasty with the cowboys so donât even come in here with that CAP ANALYSIS𧹠clearly you donât know much about the history of football. All you do is match the pro bowl and all team numbers but real ones know that shit doesnât matter you donât just measure that against two of the all time greats, ochocinco and Irvin, and youâre saying heâs one of the greatest of all time but those are just two prime examples thereâs like 10 other men that were more dominant than brown so Donât ever come in here with that bullshit đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@user-gz2sd7ds1x you love to bend things to fit your own reality. Brown played 146 games, which is significantly less than either of them, despite that, he has more TDS and yards than both of them. You bring up how ochocinco carried but then credit Irvin for the 3 rings they had, and at the same time give AB no credit for his ring. You take away all of ABâs rushing TDs and he still has more than either of those guys đ€Ł. AB was a gadget receiver who you had to account for in more ways than one, unlike chad and Michael⊠Antonioâs best seasons were clearly better than either of those guysâ best seasons and any âreal oneâ knows that
What sucks is that Brown worked his ass off and was a genuinely good dude and a hard worker. Now hes all fucked up which is unfortunate asf

Exactly. That's the NFL. Burfict was/is such a scumbag.
The same thing could probably be said for Chad Johnson. I remember Chad took a vicious hit from Cleveland Browns safety Brian Russell and after that he started acting goofy. Like changing his name to Ochocinco.

Mental illness in sports needs to be talked about more
The NFL and sports leagues in general need to do more with. these guys make billions for these organizations, they have money to help in the long run after players leave. No excuses.
Itâs not just football.
Soccer, hockey, fighting sports like boxing and MMA, professional wrestling have been linked to CTE.
Looks like a bunch of sports leagues and organizations may have to change or take care of their players.
and researched more so we can reverse the effects of cte
Coming here after the incident todayâŠ
My prayers go out to Mr. Brown .
He was the best .... until the hit..it has clearly changed his life
Right people say heâs been like this since long before but I believe that definitely took it to another level.. if heâs been playing since wee years it may have started then maybe was wasnât built for football (not physically) mentally but was just so good at it and accumulating the hits over the years just made the damage much worse and worse and that hit was what took it to a whole nother level.
The Burfict hit is the one that gets all the publicity but yâall do realize itâs probably numerous times where AB took a hit in practice or a game received a concussion and it went undiagnosed or undocumented heâs been playing ball most his life.

Thank you for putting this together. I had never seen those clips of his early years.
Watching this for the first time after him walking off Tampa field and hearing Brady's cocern for him. So sad. Such an incredible athlete.
His eyes say it all, before the hit his eyes were always bright. After that hit his eyes slowly started to look alot different.
At first I was angry at him but then I was like I would I be angry at a man whos disease is changing him that's like me being angry at someone who has cancer I shouldn't be angry at the person I should be angry at the disease so I'm angry at Antonio browns disease not him self
Yea I feel like alot of people have those issues every day. They tend to blame people when in reality those people are in a situation or a life that made them that way. I am certainly guilty of this often.
@@bhb7406 Yea
Ya know i got a tear in my eye reading that. Ive had a few concussions and ill tell you 1000% they change you even if its ever so slightly. Depression kicks in, emotions go from hi to low in a second, memory loss and the feeling of being off balance even when you're completely sober. Its scary and the one thing that always comes to mind when concussions are brought up is benoit. Like the recent incident with the former nfl player they took lives then their own and cte is no joke.
Should be mad at burfict
@@lucas_crider8746 True
He doesn't have CTE.
He has TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)
You can have both my dude. They wonât know until he dies unless technology improves. Concussions after a Tbi or hard hit in general could possibly cause Cte or he couldâve already had lesser level of Cte that was worsened by getting a Tbi
Wow that's mind blowing!!! Just that one hit from Vontaze sent him spiraling downward in life. That's almost 6 years since the hit Jan 9th 2016 to Jan 2nd 2022.
The guy was always like this, the Steelers just hid it very well. Ryan Clarke tried to tell everyone how bad of a person he was behind closed doors and that everyone on that team knew he would only get worse once he secured his first big contract.
prove it
I was disgusted listening to the telecast today (jets/bucs) because the announcers just shredded AB over n over bout all his mistakes.., but they refused to even mention the dirty hits that changed him forever and precipitated all his erratic misbehavior. I guess the NFL might not like that. Sellouts
AB an elite wide receiver, one of the best to ever play the game. Forever grateful for him in superbowl 2020.
2021 idiot
Elite but not one of the best ever⊠lol
We could easily name 30 wrs better than him.
Thanks for putting this together
Really great video, itâs crazy to see how the look in his eye changes after the concussion. He has a âdarknessâ to his eyes now.
Really heartbreaking, the old AB was awesome.
I watched the hit live and got a bad feeling in my stomach.
That is something you don't do to another human being especially in a GAME.
Itâs football. Deal with it

@@zalapski9399 uhh ok. That was random. Nice try though
Yeah football is a dumb sport
NFL is still not serious about violence and generally gets a pass; no way that guy should've been playing for a year or two after that
This video should have more views. In the military we call this TBI, traumatic brain injury. I've seen this in others and deal with it myself. It's real, too damn real
3 years and im finally getting this video in my recomendations lol. very solid work though my guy was interested the whole way through
Who else was shocked this was made in 2020?
He has CTE. Itâs clear. People say itâs just cause heâs cocky, and he always has been cocky to a certain extent. But the behavioral difference between 2010-2016 to 2016-2021 is drastic. He hasnât been the same since the burfict hit, the worst hit heâs ever taken. And thatâs only one hit in the long list of concussions heâs had as a football player. When 60 minutes releases the episode on him when heâs dead, itâll be shown how severe his CTE was at that time. Once he was the best receiver in the game, now heâs just a rich clown. I feel bad for the 2016 Antonio Brown. He was on a path to greatness.
That hit definitely changed him I remember watching that game to he was out cold. But havenât heard about him much in the last year so hopefully he is fighting it and doing good with the bucs
Yes, he's been away from self inflicted sports drama so it seems he's gotten ahold of himself, or his team (personal and the buccs) are keeping him out of trouble.
Until today
Very informative balanced work. Good job! Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Such a humane way of showing the reality of these situations.
This is so sad. People are hating on a sick man, whom was the best at what he did until that hit. I feel really bad for him, especially because Burfict should have been out of the league long before that hit happened.
Thank you for putting together this video. Maybe some of the reporters around the world should look at AB this way.
Agree 100% about burfict. A hit like that, one offense should be a suspension for the rest of the season. Second offense should be a permanent ban. Things like that Burfict hit can only happen when a player doesnât respect his opponent or care about their well-being. I know that injuries happen in other sports, but not like this. It doesnât even happen in rugby where the players wear padded leather helmets at most. Why? Because you canât hit above the waist. Player safety is taken seriously and is baked into the rules. You want to see a safe and fundamentally sound tackle? Rugby is where l you will find it. Football is 100 years behind.
It's crazy watching that hit today. Burfict had to see that the ball wasn't caught- why the hell step into Brown for that hit? Should be embarrassed.
Honestly this was burficts most dirty hit the only other that could justify removal from the league was when he tried to twist a players ankle on purpose who had already hurt it in the game a week prior.
NFL never gets much pressure for the fact that they're still not serious about this; there's no way that he should've been in the league for at least a year or more after that
Kinda makes it easy to hate him specially the way he turned snake towards someone who has done so much for him in Brady.
They need to add todays events to this. Taking off his shirt and gloves throwing it into the crowd mid game.
Well put together video.
You have opened my eyes
He could of definitely made a real run after Jerry Rice's receiving records. AB was an exceptional route runner and had great speed and could get that separation from CB's. At the end of the day AB had only AB to blame.
Know Iâm late but nice video, seems some time went into. As for AB, it really is sad to see the almost clear effects itâs had/possibly even having to this day on him.
thanks man, I appreciate it.
Yes, AB seems to really be affected by the long term effects of CTE and I hope he can simple be happy now and in the future.
Great vid. I hope it gets millions of views; go viral, etc.
I completely agree with your point AB was one of the most humble, reserved, and respectful players in football before that hit, he was always a class act. It was sad to see him spiral out of control like that and people just wanted to act like he always like that.
i remember seeing the hit watching that game with my mom, who is a steelers fan. we bother went "oooh that's dirty" at the same time, and my little like 9 or 10 year old brain couldn't comprehend how bad that hit was, especially never having played football. but i remembered it. it was the first time i saw someone get a concussion. I saw AB do that thing on redzone today against the jets and my mind instantly went back to this hit. concussions are no joke man. another one i remember was clint frazier suffering one in braedenton Florida during spring training a while ago. he has vision issues this year and wasn't the same. he performed poorly, but he ended up spending most of this season in the injured list for dizziness or vision problems idk. yanees mismanaged his injury and i hope his career gets better with the cubs, and i certainly hope it wasn't as bad of an effect on him as Burfect's hit was on AB
I recall seeing him on Dancing with the Stars and thinking he was a very low key guy, soft spoken, but his eyes always looked "wrong" or "odd" to me. I kept thinking he was high or on drugs or something. I never knew he had a head injury like that. So sad!
Great video brother đ€
Great video!! Nice work
Yes sir, thank you my guy
On a side note, how many times has burfict been involved with some bs? Seen him try to intentionally hurt players many times in his career
That's why they finally kicked his punk ass out of the league
It's weird because my mom says the same thing about Cam Newton. He took a bad hit years ago in-game and experienced a concussion. She watches a lot of football and continuously told me that Cam had never been the same since that particular game (his play and his personality off-field). I never gave it much thought. I thought she was overreacting, now I'm not so certain.
People don't realize how common CTE is among football players. The vast majority of them have it before they even enter the league. Every hit you take just compounds it further.
I can see a future where football will be made illegal within the next couple of decades.
Whoâs here after the PBD podcast đłđźâđš
i agree 100%! glad finally someone else sees this. i just mentioned this on a comment on another video regarding ABâs latest meltdown. itâs sad man and that hit definitely changes the axis of his mental state i truly believe that! Get well AB man!
Its hard to believe how this happened, and he says that he does not have cte but its clear that the actions he had taken post burfict hit didn't come out of no where. But he went from a nice guy, and a responsible guy to being a criminal/crazy person. But I don't think people should be saying that he is a bad human because he is the exact opposite, but his brain basically makes him a bad human. I know he is trying to get signed rn but I just hope he dosen't for his own safety because you saw what happened to other people with severe cases of cte, for example, Aaron Hernandez committed suicide and it turned out he had a bad case of cte. That's the reason I'm worried for him trying to get signed again, also he will be in the public spot which could cause more trouble. But I wish AB nothing but the best.
I see, alot of AB fans want him to get back into the game and onto a team. It's a refreshing point of view to not want him to return to the game.
@@bhb7406 I wish it would be safe for him, but in reality if he gets signed and plays for more years he could get seriously physically and mentally injured. Idk if you count the brain as physically getting injured or both.
@@deeplays9494 yea, I counted the physical which would lead into the mental. Such as physical concussion leading into mental CTE down the line
he's currently one of the best receivers and the league and a champion. U guys were wrong đ
@@evergreatest8909 1 year ago we werenât he was wilding out
Biggest problem to me is the NFL just gets a pass on this; there's no way that guy should've been playing for at least a year or two after that if not permanently out. He was a nice guy until after a vicious deliberate hit
Agreed, I don't like how just playing a sport and having a uniform on gives people the right to commit literal crimes.
Crazy this popped up on my feed. Still relevant to the day. Get better AB
Good video my man
I was thinking the same thing--that dirty hit by Burfict really changed his career. One of many cheap shots by Burfict. I wish the NFL would get those cheap shot artists out of the league.
Prayers for the Man đđœ give your life to the sport from a kid, and see him deteriorate right before our eyes.
I made a mistake so I ended up re-uploading this video. A comment made by Lighting HWD was unfortunately lost as a result. But his comment did say "Yo how did I not know about yo channel before". To that I reply, idk my guy, but I thank you for the love and support nonetheless. đđ
Holy crap you can see it in the eyes. It's like two different people.
How a person is treated after an incident of such magnitude can easily result in drastic changes in attitude ~ CTE or no #CTE. I had an experience that really "opened my eyes" AND I acted much differently afterwards. What is truely important and not important to me is now much clearer. I wish AB everything he is seeking AND hope it makes him ultimately peaceful and content! Organizations that are primarily (possibly solely) Driven by đ°đ°đ° probably expect their employees to accept whatever comes their way while they "Wear the company uniform". I put a small piles of đ on his claims being more correct than the League/Big Media want us to know. #ThatIsAll #KeepErMovin
people were making fun of him i hated it. no one knows how bad mental issues can make people do stupid stuff ive had bad temper problems for a while i would break stuff i even broke my car window by kicking it. then i started taking all my anger out on social media started being like a cyber bully i made a lot of people depressed and lost a lot of people as friends as well. im starting to get better but man i felt so empty like i couldnt get any of my school and grinding done. i hate living with anger issues and i get obsessive and compulsive and am like obsessed with fighting people. im trying to change myself and be a better person just like ab everyone deserves second chances. whenever ur down at the lowest in ur life dont take it out on other people and dont be afraid to ask for help. God bless
good to hear your story bro, I hope you find your way through this
Whose here after the PBD podcast?
Watching him do interviews and stuff from years ago is so jarring cause it's completely not how he acts now.
I know Iâm late to this party but I definitely see some issues with his behavior. Always was a standout standup guy on the Steelers, something in him flipped. His composure back then compared to obvious recklessness certainly is mental and alarming. Prayers up
I have thought this for a couple years and just now saw this video. As a big time wrestling fan and an nfl fan I really hope AB gets some help. So many ex wrestlers and some ex nfl players have died way too young from cte related illnesses and suicide.
The change is there you can see it. I just hope he gets treatment or get advice on how to manage it before its too late
Shoutout to JUJU for always being kind and cool. Plus, the hit on burfict.
I remember watching that game, he literally got hit by a truck straight to the dome
Here after AB quit against the Jets in the 3rd quarter
I thought about this awhile ago. Love that someone else had the same thought. But team mates should know...
Who is here after watching PBD podcast w AB?
Bruh yall noticed his speech started to change
I never knew he got hit. I was always wondering what happened. I used to love him. Now I know. Even though he playin on the buccs with Brady he will always be a steeler to me.
sucks what happened to ur steelers dude. That first quarter start was one of the worst beginnings to a game a team could have. Legit if yall just conceived 14 instead of 28, im confident u guys win that game.
he's currently one of the best receivers and the league and a champion. U guys were wrong đ
@@evergreatest8909 wrong about what?
@@evergreatest8909 you watch today's game?
Are there any pre injury interviews from right after a game?
Heartbreaking
Investing at 46k đđđ This year old video is about to blow up after AB threw the ultimate TEMPER TANTRUM and walked off the field bareback while play was still going on đ
You got a point
it's still a shame tho đ
And this why they giving him another chance to enter the league cuz deep down they know their wrong and he probably can whip up a lawsuit against the league
Yeah well look at him now... he's definitely back to his older self. Sometimes we all need an ego check and perhaps he had a reality check
he's currently one of the best receivers and the league and a champion. U guys were wrong đ
After what happened yesterday this video has relevance .
AB making fun of Shannon Sharpe was a good chuckle, Unc keeps it real and got nothing but respect for him.
As a Bengals fan, what has happened to Mr. Brown is an absolute tragedy. I'm disgusted that we had dirty player like Burfict on our team. I hope Brown gets the help he needs.
We don't claim you, we miss Burfict.
Good insight. Thanks for posting. My heart and prayers go out to Anthony Brown. I hope he keeps trucking. God's got a future for him still.
I see this all the time in old boxers when they give interviews during their careers and into retirement.
Better update this after his last year too
Its crazy because, If you just look at his eyes he looks like a completely different person before and after.
he's currently one of the best receivers and the league and a champion. U guys were wrong đ
Damn, this didnât age wellâŠ
@@evergreatest8909 nah.
@@rueservin so he didn't win a ring?
I like ur videos
Thanks man! I appreciate that bro
@@bhb7406 np i looked at ur subs and i was suprised its said 80 something you deserve more
Don't watch much football, big UFC fan. But here after he walked off the fields and reading the comments saying he wasn't the same after the Vontaze hit. Went and watched that video then the video of Juju getting the lick back.
I had a sever concussion I didnât even process I had it until 6 months later when I woke up from the brain fog. I also kept playing as well and did not stop. I was a defensive lineman so I had contact all day. My school also did illegal drills like bull in the ring for example. I used to be so different before that. Now I have PTSD and depression, memory loss, and I was struggling for the last 6 years since I left school. Now I really want to get checked for this but I canât afford an MRI at this time in my life.
