MORE: Freak NFL offseason accidents

Pierre-Paul said he’s not celebrating the holiday this year, which is probably for the best. But many others are celebrating the nation’s independence with colorful explosives, and Steelers receiver Antonio Brown has a message for those folks.

Brown doesn’t specifically mention JPP, but considering what happened to his hand, it seems likely the Steelers wideout had his football friend in mind when sending his tweet.

Even if Pierre-Paul never had his accident, Brown offers up good advice: Be safe.
