Antonio Brown is a veteran wide receiver who played in the NFL for 12 years. Brown started his journey in the professional league in 2010 when he was picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the NFL draft. To say that Brown’s life has been smooth sailing is an understatement given his troubled childhood and many issues on and off the football field. But one thing was always a constant in his life and that was his love for the game and his desire to give it his best when he played.
Since an early age, Antonio Brown had taken to sports very keenly. As a matter of fact, in high school, he was a part of the track and field team as well as the football team. While playing football, Antonio did not just limit himself to the role of wide receiver as he played other positions such as quarterback, running back, and punt returner as well.
When the NFL came calling, he took his talent and grabbed the opportunity with big hands. In his rookie season, assigned to the special teams as a returner, he excelled and earned himself the role of a slot receiver in his second year. From there on, Brown would go on to become a leading wide receiver for many years to come.

Entering the season, Brown was already suspended by the NFL for a period of 8 games on account of several violations of the league's personal-conduct policy. Thus, he was available to play only from week 9. The Buccaneers played the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV and won rather convincingly with a score of 31-9. Antonio Brown’s contribution to the game was 5 receptions on 6 targets for 22 yards including 1 touchdown.
