There was a time not long ago when wide receiver Antonio Brown was widely considered the best wide receiver in the NFL. But one thing he missed during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers when he broke records was the Super Bowl. This Sunday, Brown has a chance to change that as a reserve with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brown spoke to the media on Wednesday and did his best to paint the victim throughout the debacle with the Steelers. “Scrutiny, adversity, I’ve already said it, I’ve gone through it,” Brown said. “It simply came to our notice then. It didn’t make me want to give up. “
It’s important to remember that all the things that became a barrier to Brown’s success in the NFL after leaving Pittsburgh were a self-inflicted injury. All the theaters off the field are in it. Brown can get himself a Super Bowl ring this weekend and I’m glad to see that he seems to be showing a ray of common sense at this point in his life.
But I want to get the question across to Steeler Nation. Will you be rooting for Brown to win a Super Bowl this weekend? Let us know in the comments below.
