NFL legend Jerry Rice is doing whatever he can to support Antonio Brown and figure out a way top get him into a San Francisco 49ers uniform.

However, a legend from another sport is coming out against Brown for abandoning the Steelers.

Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson sent out these tweets directed at Brown.

AB you don’t want this useless battle to be associated with you the rest of your career, it will be. Please talk to someone that you trust not your normal “crew”. You should be recognized as one of the all time greats that will change.And let’s not include Ben,this is you, my man

Let’s not forget about the Team. Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the pillars of the NFL. As a fan I’m embarrassed. AB U need to get on board with team values. Pitt doesn’t want to do w/o you but they’ve had great players in the past and after they left still won. It’s u AB.

For the record, Brown follows Jackson on Twitter.

And if there is anyone who knows about putting team first, it's Reggie Jackson. Sure, he tried to fight manager Billy Martin once.

Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson were never going to get along.

But he never streamed Martin on Facebook Live or embarrassed him during a press conference on Instagram.

While A.B. tosses Gatorade coolers from the bench, Reggie only did it because of bad calls.

While A.B. belittled teammates like Landry Jones on the sidelines, Reggie only did it in the media.

And while A.B. went AWOL on his teammates, Mr. October protected them from Britain's attempt to recolonize the USA back in 1988.

Now that's a team-first guy.
