Antonio Brown Maintains That He’s Vaccinated, Buccaneers Release Statement

Antonio Brown is back in headlines for all the wrong reasons.

On Thursday afternoon, it was reported that AB’s former personal chef was accusing him of obtaining a fake Johnson & Johnson vaccine so he wouldn’t have to face strict protocols from the NFL.

The Buccaneers would also release a statement on the bizarre Antonio Brown story.

“After an extensive educational process conducted throughout our organization this past offseason highlighting the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines, we received completed vaccination cards from all Tampa Bay Buccaneers players and submitted the required information to the NFL through the established process in accordance with the league policy,” the team said. “All vaccination cards were reviewed by Buccaneers personnel and no irregularities were observed.”

So it seems like everyone has Antonio Brown’s back in this one.

However, given the dude’s background, I don’t think we can sit here and give the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn’t be surprised if AB still gets in some form of trouble for this.
