The former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver was taken into custody outside of his home.

PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has reportedly been arrested for unpaid child support, according to Local 10 News.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office records, Brown was booked into jail around midnight on Sunday. He was arrested outside of his home in Dania Beach while entering a taxi.

He has since been released on $15,000 bond.

Brown’s ex and mother to his daughter, Wiltrice Jackson, told TMZ the former Steelers wideout owns $31,000 in unpaid child support.

This is not the first time Brown has been in trouble because of unpaid child support. Earlier this year, he owed $30,000 but paid the amount before being arrested. Jackson has also accused Brown of a domestic dispute in 2019, claiming he pushed her. He was not charged in the incident.

Brown has not played in the NFL since 2021 when he left mid-game while playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Steelers offense issues: Ex-Bucs OC Byron Leftwich reaches out to Pittsburgh about possible role, per report

Former Bucs OC Byron Leftwich is in the mix for a surprising new job - A to Z Sports

A former quarterback and Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator wants to help the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense get on track. Byron Leftwich, who won a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh as Ben Roethlisberger’s backup and served as Tom Brady’s offensive coordinator in Tampa, has inquired about a possible role with the Steelers, according to The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly (via 93.7 The Fan).

Leftwich reached out to the Steelers earlier this season, according to the report. The 43-year-old is currently available to work after he was let go by the Buccaneers this past January. Leftwich was let go despite the Buccaneers’ offense playing an integral role in Tampa Bay’s 2020 Super Bowl season. During his first two seasons with Brady as his quarterback, Leftwich guided a Buccaneers offense that was top-three in the NFL in scoring and either first or second in the league in passing yards.

The Buccaneers’ offense dipped to 25th in the NFL in scoring in 2022, which was one of the reasons why Leftwich was let go. In all, Leftwich has spent five seasons as an NFL offensive coordinator and seven years as an NFL assistant coach that includes two seasons as a quarterbacks coach.

Before getting into coaching, Leftwich enjoyed a nine-year career as an NFL quarterback. He made 51 starts during his career that included one start as a member of the Steelers in 2012, his final season. In 2008, Leftwich replaced an injured Roethlisberger and helped lead the Steelers to a win over Washington on Monday night.
