Antonio Brown Rumors & News

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, by some accounts, turned into a black hole. The term is used for a basketball player who gets the ball and shoots, despite percentages. According to freelance writer Tyler Kimmel, that was the best way to describe Brown's performance at a charity basketball game last week at California University of Pennsylvania. There's no particular value in this story, just some entertaining comments about Brown, and his teammates, Robert Golden, Ross Ventrone, Chris Carter, Mortty Ivy, Kelvin Beachum and Alameda Ta'amu. Proceeds from the game went to the Jeanie...

Last year, the intensity of training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers culminated in fisticuffs between cornerback Ike Taylor and Antonio Brown.

NFL.com analyst Elliott Harrison came out with an All-Underrated NFL Team, and two Steelers made it. Perhaps it's a telling sign the two players - wide receiver Antonio Brown and cornerback Ike Taylor - are two of the Steelers more showy players on the field. Harrison wrote about Brown, "Lost in all the Mike Wallace talk: the gifted receiver still on the Steelers' roster. Brown caught 66 balls and five touchdown passes despite missing three games. He had 1,108 yards in 2011." Oh, how long ago was 2011. A healthy 2013 for both Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will likely vault...

When does a player cross the line between representing his organization, and outright talking too much? Evidently, the line is crossed when the player represents his team wearing what could have been mistaken for an Easter basket. Ever since an anonymous comment exposed a fracture in the foundation the Pittsburgh Steelers were planning on building a 2013 NFL championship run on, the media has begun a witch-hunt for the unnamed player while trying to squeeze anything they can get out of an empty shallow well. Antonio Brown has been forced into the spotlight this off-season, thanks to UF...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a hot topic this off-season as anonymous comments brought about talk of divisions, other than the confluence, in the city of three rivers. Several players have been interrogated by the media, attempting to dig even more dirt out of an already shallow fracture. Today, Antonio Brown joined Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco on 98.7 ESPN New York to answer the same list of question every Steelers player has entertained until this point. Most of Brown's answers fell into the generic, cookie-cutter category; but one answer stuck out above all the rest, and i...

Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown appeared on ESPN's First Take with Stephen A. Smith recently, and the words he spoke were outweighed by the ghastly hat he chose to wear. As Al Czervik said, "this is the worst lookin' hat I ever saw. I betcha if you buy a hat like that you get a free bowl of soup! Oh, it looks great on YOU though!"

"We gotta get better as a whole. We gotta carry that legacy-" At this point, ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are team about to enter the 2013 NFL season with a new receiver atop the depth chart, for the third consecutive season. In only his fourth year, Antonio Brown is proving he is more than ready for his new job, and his new role as veteran leader. Teresa Varley of Steelers.com recently filed an interview with Brown at the team's Southside practice facility. Barely a week removed from watching the post-season play out on a television set instead of a football field, Brown was done spectating. He was at the team's facility hitting weights for strength, cardio for e...
