Antonio Brown Talks Infamous NFL Exit with Theo Von

Antonio Brown Says Quitting Mid-Game Was His "Best Day"

Antonio Brown joined Theo Von on This Past Weekend and revisited his shocking 2021 NFL exit. The former wide receiver walked off the field mid-game, tossing his jersey and pads before running to the locker room. Looking back, Brown called it the “best day” of his life.

“I think there’s a part of that where everybody could feel it,” Brown said. “Everybody wants to take their shirt off and walk out… but some people can’t.” He then compared his exit to quitting a regular job. “By FedEx, by UPS, by Target—anything. It’s always good when you can walk out on your own freedom and make the moves you believe in.”

Brown’s mid-game departure from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became one of the most talked-about moments in sports. While many criticized him, Brown seems to have no regrets. For him, it wasn’t just about leaving a team—it was about reclaiming control.

Theo Von, always quick with a joke, seemed to enjoy Brown’s perspective. The two laughed as they discussed the idea of storming out of everyday jobs in dramatic fashion.
