There was a time not too distant when the wide receiver Antonio Brown was widely considered the best wide receiver in the NFL. But one thing that escaped him during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he was breaking records, was a Super Bowl. This Sunday, Brown has a chance to change that as a reserve with Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Brown spoke to the media on Wednesday and went out of his way to portray himself as the victim of the entire disaster with the Steelers. “Critical analysis, adversity, whatever you want, I’ve been there,” said Brown. “But that didn’t stop me. It didn’t make me want to give up. “
It is important to remember that each of the things that became a barrier to Brown’s success in the NFL after leaving Pittsburgh was a self-inflicted wound. All the plays outside the field are in it. Brown can get a Super Bowl ring this weekend and I’m happy to see that he seems to be showing a glimpse of sanity at this point in his life.
But I want to pass the question on to the Steeler Nation. Will you hope Brown wins a Super Bowl this weekend? Let us know in the comments below.
