Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown made a head-scratching tribute to OJ Simpson following his death on Wednesday night.
Simpson, 76, passed away in his home in Las Vegas following a short battle with prostate cancer.
On Thursday morning, Brown took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a picture of Simpson's infamous car chase in 1994. The picture shows Simpson in his white Ford Bronco with several police cars behind him on the freeway.
'RIP to the legend OJ,' Brown wrote with a praying hands emoji.
The image chase happened on June 17, 1994, two days after the murders of Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman.

After failing to turn himself in, Simpson fled from the LAPD with his former college and NFL teammate, Al Cowlings. Simpson called 911 from his vehicle, which allowed the authorities to track his location hours after declaring him a fugitive.
The LAPD tracked Simpson on the 5 Freeway in Orange County, California. The chase began at approximately 6pm PT.
Around 95million people nationwide tuned in to watch the low-speed chase around Southern California. After an hour and a half, the LAPD arrested Simpson at his home in Brentwood.
Besides Brown, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley II also paid tribute to Simpson on Thursday.
The former running back played in the NFL for 11 seasons between the Bills and 49ers
Simpson won the MVP, made five First-Team All-Pro selections, and five Pro Bowl appearances
'RIP To The Legendary O.J Simpson your favorite RB favorite RB,' Gurley wrote on X. 'Appreciate you Uncle O/Juice you’ll be missed thanks for the past year being on It Is What It Is!!'
'Heisman, #1 pick, NFL MVP & the first ever 2000 yard rusher let alone to do it in 14games the list goes on & on!'
Simpson played 11 seasons in the NFL between the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers. His career highlights include winning the league MVP in 1972, making five First-Team All-Pro selections, and five Pro Bowl appearances.
The former running back announced that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this year. He did, however, disclose that the cancer was in its late stages before his death on Wednesday.
