Former Pittsburgh Steeler Antonio Brown was back outside Acrisure Stadium on Sunday, helping Donald Trump’s campaign for president by registering fans of the team to vote.
Brown was helped by another former Steeler, Le’Veon Bell, to register voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania ahead of the 2024 Presidential election, which will take place on November 5.
Brown has been an avid Trump supporter for years, with his rhetoric only getting larger and louder over the last few weeks.
Like Elon Musk, Danica Patrick, and others, Brown has been trying to convince American citizens to vote for Trump, while blasting his opponent, Kamala Harris.
Brown spoke at a Trump rally on Saturday in Latrobe, Pennsylvania as part of the former President’s tour through the state.

Trump is at tonight’s Steelers game against the New York Jets, with him coming off his private jet being bizarrely greeted by Brown on the tarmac.
Pennsylvania was a state Trump won in 2016 over Hilary Clinton, but lost in 2020 to Joe Biden.
Both Harris and Trump see winning Pennsylvania as crucial to their efforts to become the next President of the United States.
Trump’s visit to watch Steelers-Jets coincides with Davante Adams’ debut for New York and Russell Wilson’s first regular-season game in Pittsburgh.
Earlier on Sunday, Trump spoke at a rally with former ESPN host Sage Steele moderating.
Brown has not played in the NFL since 2021 and last was a Steeler in 2018, where he spent the first nine seasons of his professional career.
New York, meanwhile, headed into the game on the back of a three-game skid with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.

It remains to be seen whether Trump crosses paths again with Rodgers, who could have been his political rival after nearly becoming Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate for the election earlier this year.
Entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan eventually got the job but the Jets star said: ‘I love Bobby. We had a couple really nice conversations.’
Rodgers has developed a close relationship with Kennedy Jr. in recent years, with both men notably skeptic of vaccines.
He has previously bumped into Trump, shaking hands at UFC event earlier this year after fans initially claimed the former President had snubbed him.
The Steelers sent a message to their fans ahead of Trump’s visit for their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Jets.
As the team coordinated with officials to get their security all set before the contest, the team informed supporters of logistical plans for the game.
‘With former President Trump expected to attend Sunday night’s game as a guest of an individual suite holder, we are working with Secret Service and local authorities to ensure the safety and security of all our fans,’ the team’s statement read.
‘As always we will work to make the fan experience the same as it always is for every Steelers’ home game at Acrisure Stadium.
‘We encourage fans to arrive early to the parking lots and to the gates so that they can enjoy our pregame experience and our celebrations throughout the game that will honor the 50th anniversary of our Super Bowl IX team.’
