PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA: Former NFL star Antonio Brown said he was prepared to do anything to reinstate GOP nominee Donald Trump in the White House, including running for public office and playing an active role in the latter's administration.
The remarks were made by the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver to the Daily Mail, while leading a voter registration drive at a tailgate party on Sunday, October 20, before the game between his old team and the New York Jets in the evening.

"Trump's going to put me in the Senate," he cheekily added, wearing a dark MAGA black cap. Brown also signed hats and held a Vote Early sign above his head, as the deadline for registering was about to end the following day.

"Trump's gonna win Pennsylvania," Brown announced at the event, before ripping into Democratic vice presidential candidate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Walz is popularly nicknamed "Coach" for his time coaching high school football and basketball.
"He isn't a real football coach," said the former Steelers wide receiver going after the moniker. "He couldn't guard me."
"I know the media is going to call me crazy... Me and Trump crazy for having me speak here, but I want to make this clear - we are not. They are," added Brown.
