Due to the current coronavirus situation in the United States, there is still no update regarding the start date of the 2020 NFL season. There were rumors circulating that the NFL preseason could be abandoned. However, there is no official confirmation of the same. Amid all this uncertainty, former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown is preparing for a return to the NFL. The controversial star recently went to Instagram where he uploaded a short clip of him training. Former Oakland Raiders player Antonio Brown trained with Russell Wilson of the Seahawks. In the video, the 31-year-old caught a long-distance pass from Russell Wilson.

Antonio Brown has been without the NFL team since 2019 due to his out-of-scope antics. The Central Michigan College graduate was under the scanner of allegations of sexual abuse by former coach Britney Taylor. In addition to this, Brown was charged with several criminal offenses in March. However, the highly rated WR is working its way toward a return to the NFL before the 2020 season. Brown is currently a free agent but is presented as a target for the likes of Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears and New York Giants. The rumors also indicate that Antonio Brown is in “close contact” with former teammate – Tom Brady – who is now with Tampa Bay.
Antonio Brown is considered one of the best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL. Since joining the NFL in 2010, he has established many league records and established himself as one of the best players in the league. Aside from the off-field challenges, Brown will certainly improve any composition in the NFL if they choose to play with him. The Florida-born veteran was the first NFL player to receive and return more than 1,000 yards in the same season. The Seattle Seahawks are keen to acquire its services. But only time will tell if Brown can get a contract with the NFL, but teams will wonder if it’s worth the risk?
