Just when you thought he was out, the NFL pulls him back in. Well, almost. Antonio Brown reportedly impressed the New Orleans Saints in the workout session earlier last week. While the former Patriots wide receiver currently finds himself out of a job, the Saints were willing to give Antonio Brown a look-in, in order to aid their NFL playoffs' charge. With the workout part done and dusted, all Antonio Brown had to wait was stay out of the limelight and await the Saints' decision.
