NFL legend Antonio Brown says he is all in and ready to do whatever it takes to get Donald Trump to the White House and make his presidency a success.
That means he is ready to join the Trump administration or even become his man on Capitol Hill, he said with a grin, if the former president wins the election in November.
After appearing at a Trump rally on Saturday, the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver led a voter registration drive at a tailgate party before Sunday evening's game against the New York Jets.
And he had time to talk to DailyMail.com in between tossing out Trump-Vance rally towels in Steeler yellow.
He said he would do whatever was needed to help make Trump a success, he said, from a job in the White House to becoming an elected representative.

'I'd be the man in the office,' he said, when asked what sort of job he would like to do.
'The House of Representatives or something.'
His tongue may have been firmly in his cheek, but it shows how the former star is going to keep working for Trump.
'Trump's going to put me in the Senate,' he added.
Hundreds of fans thronged a voter registration stall manned by Turning Point Action, a day ahead of the deadline for registering.

Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as they seek to win enough support in the electoral college to claim the White House.
Trump spent both Saturday and Sunday in the state and was expected to attend the game.
Brown, who appeared at Trump's rally in Latrobe a night earlier, said: 'Trump's gonna win Pennsylvania.'
Brown urged supporters to vote early in the election
At the rally he ripped Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, who is known as 'coach' around the campaign for his time coaching high school football and basketball.
'He isn't a real football coach,' said Brown, who made his name as a spectacular wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 'He couldn't guard me.'
And he said only one side in the election was weird.
'I know the media is going to call me crazy... Trump crazy for having me speak here,' said a man who once made as many headlines for his bizarre behavior as he did his exploits on the field.
'But I want to make this clear. We are not. They are.'
Trump is spending two days in Pennsylvania ahead of the deadline for voter registration
The latest DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll reveals why both candidates are all in on the state.
They are tied at 47 percent support each among likely voters.
Monday is a key date, marking the deadline for voter registration.
Trump summed up the stakes at the Saturday rally.
'If we win Pennsylvania we win the whole damn thing,' he told several thousand supporters at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
