As soon as the NFL regular season came to an end, it was clear that Antonio Brown could no longer play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown was constantly criticizing the team on social media, all while posting pictures of himself in other teams' jerseys. Both parties realized that the relationship was over and Brown was ultimately traded to the Oakland Raiders. Despite being an abysmal 4-12 last season, Brown is ecstatic to be a part of an organization that hasn't won anything since the 80s. Regardless, as a way to show off his love of the black and silver, he did what every self-respecting athlete does, drop a hype video on Twitter.

Just by the music and edits that are used, it's obvious that the video is a little on the overdramatic side but considering the way the Brown-Saga has gone this year, it's only fitting.

The video features Raiders QB Derek Carr throwing Brown some pretty routine passes, with clips of Brown's introductory press conference thrown into the mix. Raiders head coach Jon Gruden also makes an appearance because what would a cringy video be without the NFL coaching cringe-god himself. 

In all seriousness though, Brown seems pretty pumped to be with the Raiders and they seem pumped to have him. It's a match made in heaven.
