Antonio Brown to the Ravens? Maybe not, but an intriguing workout trio Wednesday is sure to fire up fans’ speculation.

The free agent wide receiver, without an NFL team after numerous off-the-field issues and two allegations of sexual misconduct, worked out with league MVP Lamar Jackson and receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on Wednesday, per their social media accounts.

One video shows Jackson dropping a roughly 50-yard pass into Brown’s arms in the end zone.

The primary connection here is that Marquise Brown is Antonio Brown’s cousin. But Baltimore could stand to improve its receiver corps this offseason, and while that likely will happen through the draft, Ravens fans on social media were tantalized by the idea that Jackson could team up with the free agent in 2020.

Antonio Brown last played in the NFL in Week 2 of the 2019 season with the New England Patriots. He caught a touchdown pass from Tom Brady in his one and only game with New England before he was released following a second allegation of sexual misconduct against him.

In September, Brown was accused of sexual assault by his former trainer, Britney Taylor. Brown later countersued, calling her accusations false and defamatory.

Brown also turned himself in to police in Florida in January after a moving-truck driver accused him and his friend of battery. He was granted bail and released.

Amid reports that Brady wanted Brown to join him on his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians said Brown wouldn’t be “a fit in our locker room.”
