Terrell Owens doesn’t want to be compared to Antonio Brown, but he would like to replace him.
Owens went viral Sunday when he took offense to a comparison to Brown, who had a meltdown at MetLife Stadium and destroyed his Buccaneers tenure in the process. Two days later, the 48-year-old Hall of Famer expressed interest in taking AB’s roster spot in Tampa Bay.
“At the end of the day, I know that I can do it,” Owens told Fubo Sports Network, as transcribed by Yahoo Sports. “When you think about this country and what it’s based off of, we are supposed to be a country of second, third, whatever chances. Look at the chances AB had … Who’s to say that I can’t go out there and do it?”
Owens added: “If you think about where they are in the season, they don’t need me for a 16-game season. Three to four games at the max. So, yes, I feel like I can go in, I can contribute at a high level and can be productive.”
We’re going to go out on a limb and say T.O. won’t be receiving a call from the Bucs’ front office, as he hasn’t taken an NFL snap in over a decade. That said, Tom Brady probably could find a way to make it work with pretty much anyone.
