NFL's Antonio Brown humorously shares how he would be as a NASCAR driver

Former NFL player Antonio Brown has been active on social media recently to express his love for NASCAR, while cheekily asking for the same in return. The former wide receiver doubled down on his NASCAR social media talk when he shared how he would be if he were a driver.

Brown shared a video of Xfinity Series driver Josh Williams parking his car on the frontstretch at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in a race last year. Williams subsequently got out of the car and walked away, leaving the car on the racetrack after frustrations with a penalty called on him. Brown wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

"Antonio Brown as a NASCAR driver…."

Brown compared himself to Williams as the incident was reminiscent of when the former left the football field in the middle of the game while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The game ended up being Brown's last to date.

A day prior to the post, Brown took to his X account to post a picture of himself alongside Xfinity Series driver Connor Zilisch.

A race fan responded to the post by requesting Brown give the command to start the 2025 Daytona 500. Brown responded by writing:

"Be Honored @NASCAR AB loves NASCAR NASCAR loves AB? 🏁"

Brown played in the NFL for 12 seasons. He was drafted to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010, where he spent nine seasons and played in one Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers.

He then moved to the New England Patriots in 2019 before spending the last two seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which included a Super Bowl victory in the 2020-21 season. Brown was a seven-time Pro Bowler, a two-time leader in receptions, and a two-time leader in receiving yards.

Noah Gragson showed love for Antonio Brown on social media

In response to Antonio Brown engaging with the NASCAR community, NASCAR Cup Series driver Noah Gragson offered his appreciation for the former NFL wide receiver. The former Xfinity Series runner-up wrote about the former Super Bowl champion on X:

"I love @AB84"

On the racetrack, Gragson finished 24th in the final standings this past season as he piloted the #10 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford to one top five and an average finish of 19.6. However, SHR ceased operations at the end of the 2024 season, leading the driver to move to Front Row Motorsports in 2025. It's yet to be announced what car number Gragson will drive.

Prior to Cup, Gragson found great success in the Xfinity Series driving the #9 JR Motorsports Chevrolet. He won 13 races over three seasons and finished a career-best second in the final standings in 2022.
