During his prime with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Antonio Brown established himself as the premier wide receiver in the NFL. But behind the scenes, former Steelers safety Ryan Clark saw the seeds of future turmoil being planted long before Brown's public breakdown and eventual departure from Pittsburgh.
Appearing on the "Not Just Football with Cam Heyward" podcast with current Steelers captain Cameron Heyward, Clark reflected on the locker room dynamics surrounding Brown's rise to stardom.
Heyward recalled Clark's immediate, emotional reaction the day Pittsburgh signed Brown to his first major contract extension. He shared a story about how Brown had said something to former defensive coordinator **** LeBeau, and the defense, including Clark, did not take kindly to it.
He recalled how emotional Clark became when he heard that Brown had been paid. Heyward asked Clark if he remembered what he said in response.
"Yeah, he's gonna F it up," said Clark. "The entire Antonio Brown thing, just makes me sad, you know, how it played out."
