Four of the photos on Instagram were the same as Twitter, with slightly different captions, but the last one was different. He shared the game ball from when he caught his only touchdown with the Patriots, offering it to a “lucky fan” who provided a comment.

Brown’s stint with the Patriots lasted 11 days. He played in one game and caught four passes for 56 yards and the TD against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. The Patriots released him amid sexual assault allegations.

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, also weighed in on the matter.
