Antonio Brown, the Oakland Raiders Wide Receiver who came over via a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, just posted a new Raiders-produced YouTube video on his channel called “Antonio Brown.”
Brown writes: Motivation. Preparation. Dedication. It’s been a long offseason of hard work. Now it’s time to ball out and show what I can do. #CallGod
The YouTube video, called “Inside Antonio Brown’s relentless offseason preparation,” is really a retrospective look at moments that occurred as he joined the Silver and Black. From the time he walked into Raiders Headquarters in Alameda to meet General Manager Mike Mayock and Head Coach John Gruden, to meeting Quarterback Derek Carr, and to his multi-faceted workout routine, the video tells the story of the new Antonio Brown. Here’s the transcript, as produced by the YouTube algorithm:

No Mention Of The Helmet Issue
One subject clearly avoided in the cheery video is the helmet issue. Brown started a controversy when the NFL told him that, due to safety concerns and new regulations, he could not use the helmet he wore as he set record after receiving record with the Steelers. Now, after a lot of dramatic moments that managed to find their way onto Hard Knocks: Training Camp With The Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s all over, and Brown’s ready to play against the Denver Broncos on NFL Monday Night Football.
Stay tuned.
