Greatest Moments

Antonio Brown, number 84 for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played the eighth season of his professional career in 2017. He is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and in the long and storied history of the Steelers. He caught passes for more than 1,000 receiving yards in six of his first eight NFL seasons, including five consecutive seasons from 2013–2017. He also has five seasons in a rowwith at least 100 pass receptions in a season. ANTONIO BROWN’S NFL CAREER The types of numbers that Brown has put up are nothing less than remarkable. A player drafted 195th in the 2010 NFL Draft from Central Michigan University, Brown has risen to the top of the heap as a premier receiver and player in the league. He was drafted behind wide receivers such as Dez Bryant (Dallas Cowboys) and Golden Tate (Detroit Lions). What Brown has been able to accomplish at the position is remarkable given that the Steelers did not select him until the 6th round of the draft.
