He was thrown out of his first college for assaulting somebody before he had even played a singe game.
Here's what his own stepfather has said about him:
Larry Moss Jr., the former stepfather of Antonio Brown, said he is not surprised the NFL wide receiver is facing a civil lawsuit in which Brown stands accused of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment.
“I can’t tell you that he did what they said he did,’’ Moss told USA TODAY Sports. “But I know he’s very abusive to women.
"As far as just raping somebody, (Brown) just feels like he can have whatever he wants. He’s just empowered that way. So it doesn’t surprise me that this kind of allegation came out about him.’’
Moss, who said he helped raise Brown in Miami-Dade County in Florida between the ages of 5 and 17, also said the NFL star’s troubles can be traced to those formative years. Brown was known by many people as “Tony,’’ short for Antonio.
“A lot of things that Tony's doing, nothing surprises me,’’ Moss said. “I’m surprised that it took them this long to figure him out. Because he’s been this way since he’s been 12 years old.’
