Brown turned up on the show while benched by the Pittsburgh Steelers for skipping practices. Later that year, in September 2019, he was accused of sexual misconduct and turned himself in to the police in January 2020 after he was charged with felony burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, and criminal mischief. That June, he pleaded no contest to the battery and burglary charges and received two years of probation.

He's now a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On the show, he performed "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown.
