Look: Antonio Brown caught having a burner account for Twitter to defend himself, a la Kevin Durant

NFL: Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints

It’s become quite clear that Steelers receiver Antonio Brown is overly concerned with his image, and also that he loves being in the spotlight.

This was evidenced by when he elected to do a Facebook live stream while the Steelers were celebrating a playoff win last year — from the locker room — which disrupted the moment that was supposed to be private among players and coaches. He also has no problem speaking to the media, especially if the topic at hand pertains to his production.

Brown will apparently go to great lengths to defend his reputation, as it sure appears as if he was caught creating/having a burner account on Twitter, which he was likely using to talk himself up.

Remember, Kevin Durant was busted in the past for doing exactly the same thing, so it’s nothing new among athletes. Nor is it new for executives, as we found out with the Bryan Colangelo fiasco.

In looking at the hashtags from “Mikey G 45,”  notice how he uses the exact same “#CallGod” one as Brown does.

Not a good look, AB — err “Mikey.”
