The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver, who was known for hauling in touchdowns on Sunday afternoons, now spends most of his time in recording booths and music festivals thanks to his change in career path.

Brown seems to be enjoying life as a rapper, but that doesn't mean that he wishes to give up on his NFL comeback dream just yet. Speaking to TMZ, Brown had this to say when asked about returning to the football field:

"A lot of room left to play. It's a lot of growth left but in the meantime, you have got to take advantage of opportunities."

Tom Brady award Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award

The award is given to individuals who have "made a significant contribution to the world of sports" by the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.

NFL analyst grilled for controversial take on 2022 NFL Draft prospect Malik Willis

Malik Willis is one of the most sought after quarterbacks in the upcoming draft. The dual-threat quarterback from Liberty University was as lethal running the ball as he was throwing the ball in the college circuit.

Unfortunately, Willis garnered a lot of criticism from football analyst Pete Prisco on Sunday. Prisco called Willis a running back and confidently proclaimed that he's not skilled enough to be a quarterback. Prisco's statement was deemed racist and insensitive by football fans who reacted on social media.
