I guess you could say he’s comin’ in hot.

“I thought it’d be exciting to switch it up. Napa Valley, obviously, is known for the hot air balloons,” Brown says in a video posted to Twitter.
Last year, his last with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the wide receiver flew into camp at Saint Vincent College in Unity in a helicopter. In the years before that, Brown arrived several custom painted Rolls-Royces.
“There’s a lot at stake,” Brown says in the new video. “We kinda gotta develop our identity. I think it all starts today. With the commitment guys there, and everyone there, understanding the reason we there and why they putting their hand in the pile. And make the Raiders great again.”
“Raider Nation, I’m here, Napa,” he said. “It’s time to get to work, baby. Float like a butterfly, sting like AB.”
Good luck, Oakland.
Needless to say, the Twittersphere had some great reactions.
A clown does love balloons!

Certainly doesn’t strike you as a guy that craves the spotlight.

He knows his talent. He's full of hot air. He's a traitor that left his teammates out to dry but they are now in a much better place. #SteelerNation #gosteelers #SteelersCamp
