Antonio Brown is pretty well-known for taking constant jabs at his colleagues. In fact, his jokes range from harmless digs to ones that are sure to drum up controversy. Nevertheless, Brown recently made headlines for a different reason as he was spotted hitting the field alongside NFL quarterback Geno Smith for a workout session.

Brown, a former wide receiver for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been out of the NFL spotlight since leaving the Buccaneers in 2021. His last game ended in a massive controversy as he was involved in a fiery exchange, which led to his release from the team. Nevertheless, while Brown’s presence made Geno Smith’s training session go viral, the QB was also spotted throwing passes to Zay Flowers, leading to speculations about a possible change in the Seahawks’ offense.

As the Seattle Seahawks gear up for the upcoming NFL season, quarterback Geno Smith is taking charge on and off the field. In addition to his recent workout session with Antonio Brown, Smith has also been spotted training with former Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers, hinting at potential changes for the Seahawks’ offense.
Flowers, known for his versatility and playmaking abilities, could be a valuable addition to the Seahawks’ receiving corps. Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 177 pounds, he perfectly fits the mold of a formidable wide receiver.
The Baltimore Ravens picked WR Zay Flowers as the No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, amidst the stir, a new angle has hit light. We now know that Zay Flowers and Geno Smith’s connection goes way back as a video of the two practicing together came up last year. Clarifying the scene at the time, Flowers confessed that the videos were from 2020, way before he entered the big leagues.

Therefore, while the unconventional grouping may surprise many, Smith and Flowers share a longstanding bond. Meanwhile, the fans who witnessed their camaraderie are now excited to watch them clash during the 2024 NFL regular season.
As Geno Smith leads the way in offseason preparations, a collaboration between him, Brown, and Flowers could mean a lot for the Seahawks’ offense. At the same time, fans will be hoping for the QB to maintain a similar rhythm with his teammates regardless of any changes.
