One of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL over the last nine years, the Patriots released Brown after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and threatening text messages to one of his accusers surfaced.
Known for his laser focus, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked about Brown prior to Sunday’s game vs. the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium. Not surprisingly, the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach wasn’t interested in answering the question:
