This article was last updated by on

The former American football wide receiver, Antonio Brown, does not have a sister but instead has a brother named Desmond Brown.

While Desmond played football during high school and college, he ultimately decided not to pursue it as a career and is currently engaged in the real estate sector.

Their parents parted ways when they were just children, and the Brown brothers were raised solely by their mother.

Antonio Travaris Brown Sr., often known as “AB,” was born to parents Eddie Brown and Adrianne Moss on July 10, 1988.

He played collegiate football for Central Michigan from 2007 to 2009 before the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Over the years, Brown has played for several teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In the 2020 season, he was part of the Buccaneers that won the Super Bowl LV.

In addition, he was named to the first-team All-Pro four times, Pro Bowl seven times, and became the NFL receptions leader and NFL receiving yards leader twice.

It was in 2011 that Desmond played organized football since high school for the Panthers.

He played eight games as a special teams contributor in the following season.

Desmond did not pursue a professional football career, unlike his brother and father.

He has been working as a real estate broker at Brown Rose Reality since September 2021.

Before that, he worked as a realtor at Realty One Group for one year and five months.

Furthermore, he also worked at Coldwell Banker as a realtor from May 2014 to January 2017.

Additionally, he has also worked as a corporate trust, private wealth management intern, human resources intern, and full-time supervisor at several companies.

Parents: Eddie and Adriana

The former NFL player’s parents divorced when he was only ten, and he started living with his mother until age 16.

Antonio and his brother went years without seeing their father, Eddie Brown. Following the separation, their mother, Adriana Moss, remarried.

However, the stepfather-son duo did not get along that well, so he left the house and lived in his friend’s house.

Initially, Antonio barely knew about his father’s identity, but they eventually reconnected.

His father, Eddie, is a retired arena football specialist who played for the Albany/ Indiana Firebirds (1994-2003) of the Arena Football League.

Eddie was named the best player in the Arena Football League’s history in January 2006.
