While Antonio Brown might be used to getting hit by 230-pound linebackers, he most definitely wasn't ready for this kind of contact. In a workout this week, AB looked jacked as ever, but after throwing up some impressive numbers on the bench, some of the iron he was moving decided to come back and rock him like a boomerang. This was a terrifying moment for the veteran wideout.

Personal foul on the bench press. That's a 15-yard penalty and automatic first down. Holy smokes, how Brown wasn't hospitalized after that incident is beyond us.

The guy is tough as nails, but his off-the-field incidents continue to be the reason why he's still not on an NFL roster. To his credit, Brown has come out to try and make amends for all his strange behavior, but it's up in the air if a team will sign him before the next campaign gets underway.

Should anyone give him a shot, Brown will need to clear concussion protocol first. After taking that hit from the bench press there's going to need to be some monitoring.
