The NFL draft wasn't the only football drama to go down on Thursday (April 25), as former Steelers teammates Antonio Brown and Ryan Clark went back and forth on Twitter after the 7x Pro Bowl receiver called the ESPN analyst an "Uncle Tom."

Clark had been extremely critical of Brown's fallout with the Steelers over the last year, in addition to his recent jab at JuJu Smith-Schuster which led the former Super Bowl champion to describe AB as "just not a good human."

Now following the shots fired on social media, Clark was levelheaded when he spoke about the exchange on ESPN's First Take, where he conceded that he would have preferred to run the fade in person and then moved on with life. 

From there, he says he understood why Brown was upset with his prior criticism, noting that he likely felt betrayed hearing his analysis as a former teammate. With that said, he said his one regret is that they let their differences play out on social media, while pointing out that they still have respect for one another's families.

New Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown got into a heated back and forth with former Steelers teammate Ryan Clark, who is now an ESPN analyst. The two previously traded barbs after Brown called Clark an "Uncle Tom" for criticizing his drama with the Steelers. 

On Thursday (April 25), Brown was angry with Clark for mentioning his name again, telling him, "Bro stop mentioning my name I know it get u clout keep that same analysis energy next time we meet it’s on site ain’t gone spare u." Clark responded, tweeting, "Was never looking to be spared and you know that!!! Look forward to it. I ain’t hard to find. Shoot, you have a jet!!

Skip Bayless weighed in on the situation, telling Antonio, "Uh, Antonio Brown, trust me, you want NO PART of Ryan Clark. You'd get hit harder than you've ever been hit on a football field. Better keep taking your shots from your keyboard."
