Antonio Brown has missed the entirety of the 2022 NFL regular season. Just after the one-year anniversary of his walkout during the Jets-Buccaneers contest, news broke of the former wide receiver getting into trouble again. According to TMZ, the former wide receiver's account posted a sexually explicit image of the wide receiver and the mother of his children on Snapchat.
The former wide receiver took to Twitter in an attempt to clear his name, claiming he was hacked and asking for support from Snapchat. NFL fans saw the claim and began tearing the former wide receiver apart. Here's some of what is being said:

Antonio Brown reaches one-year anniversary of his last day of employment in the NFL
Walking out of one's place of work is a quick way to make it nearly impossible to find one's next job, especially if it is in the same industry. On January 2, 2022, the Buccaneers wide receiver was two games into his return after an eight-game hiatus due to injury.
When he went into the stadium, no one expected the manner in which he would end up leaving it. On live television, the wide receiver was seen taking off his pads in the middle of the game and skipping his way out of the stadium. Since then, the receiver hasn't appeared to have even worked out for a team.
Before the walkout, it was possible to make an argument that Brown was trending upward. In 2018, he recorded 1,297 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. In 2019, he put up just 56 receiving yards and one touchdown. In 2020, he had 483 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Then, heading into the game near the end of the 2021 season, he had 515 receiving yards and four touchdowns in six games of action.
Just the week before, Brown caught 10 of 15 targets for 101 yards. One could argue that had he survived the urge to walk out on his team, he would have had an opportunity to chase a 1,000-yard season.
