PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been on a rampage on the Internet for the past few months, criticizing everyone from JJ Watt For Caitlin Clarkbut his last comment caught the guest’s attention and led to a humorous exchange on X.
Brown tweeted a video of a man signing, whom he called Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce. The tweet was intended as a joke, as the man is clearly not Kelce, and was intended to be humorous at the future Hall of Famer’s expense.

Kelce saw the tweet and decided to have a little fun with it. Turning the joke into his own joke, the former Eagle responded with a tweet: “Shit, I wish I could spit bars like that!”
Brown responded with several laughing emojis and the 100 sign, seemingly showing respect for Kelce’s response.
Shit, I wish I could spit bars like that!

Kelce has reacted much better than most when it comes to Brown’s antics. The former Steelers All-Pro has used his platform to continue to criticize many big-name players, celebrities and political figures, and has used the attention he’s received to promote his business ventures and music career.
Brown has not played in the NFL since he left a game in the middle of a match against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, he has continued his rap career and grown his social media following using the same tactics he used on Kelce.
As for Kelce, he’s enjoying retirement and heading toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He continues his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Travis and is set to join ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown next football season.
Brown could end up in the Hall of Fame, and there’s likely an argument to be made that he should be there despite his off-field issues. Still, the question remains up in the air as we wait and see if he’ll find his way to Canton, Ohio.
