While Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has caused serious controversy in his first week on the team, one former Patriot is tired of having his name attached to Brown’s story.
Corey Dillon, like Brown, made the move from a team he was unhappy with, the Cincinnati Bengals, to New England in 2004. It was a decision that resulted in a Super Bowl title the following year, but Dillon continued to face criticism. While there were no YouTube videos or social media posts to document his reaction to the Bengals trading him, Dillon’s past comments about the team (“[I] would rather flip burgers than play for the Bengals”) caused many to question his character.
