Duane kicks off Sports Rap with a possibly “unpopular” opinion: Put wide receiver Antonio Brown in a red and black jersey. He wants to see AB on the other side of the field with Julio Jones.
Antonio Brown was a sixth-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010. In 2019, he was traded to the Oakland Raiders, who then made him the highest-paid receiver in the league. His partnership with the Raiders was short-lived. Brown then signed with the New England Patriots but was cut after appearing in only one game.
AB has been making his rounds apologizing for his past circumstances between the feud with Pittsburg Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and sexual assault allegations. Duane says,” AB is doing an apology tour because he wants back in… This is the perfect time for the Falcons to go catch up with that man and give him a sweetheart deal. Pay him the veteran minimum whatever that might be to get him back in the league… Sometimes you have to make unpopular decisions,” Duane continues, “it’s all about winning!” Patriots took a risk on him. Other athletes in the past such as Chad Johnson aka Ocho Cinco, Terrell Owens, and former Falcon, Michael Vick, have all made a change for the better, Duane is hopeful that AB can do the same.
What do the Falcons have to lose?
