Antonio Brown

 Antonio Tavaris Brown Sr. was born on July 10, 1988. He is an American football wide receiver. He is the current chair of Kanye West's sportswear line Donda Sports. Brown was born in Liberty City, Miami and was a student at Miami Norland High School. Brown was a college football player at Central Michigan University where he was a punt returner who was awarded All-American distinctions in the years 2008 and 2009. Brown was selected by the Steelers in the sixth round of the in the in the 2010 NFL Draft. He is often hailed as one of the best receivers of the year 2010. He was the player to earn the most All-Pro picks for his position in the last decade, having the Steelers making four consecutive All-Pro selections (2014 between 2014 and 2017) as Steelers. Brown was the Steelers first-year player, and had the most receptions than anyone else between 2010 until the year 2018. The Steelers made it to Super Bowl XLV, but they were defeated by the Green Bay Packers. In his debut season, Brown had 16 receptions and 167 yards over ten games. Brown was the first NFL player to accumulate over 1,000 yards of receiving and returning in the second NFL season. Brown was rewarded for his achievements when he was chosen as punt returner for the 2012 Pro Bowl. Brown's breakout year was in 2013 when Brown became the first player to score at least five receptions in one NFL season. Brown's performance on the field was not diminished throughout the subsequent seasons. Brown led the league in receptions and receiving yards in 2015, 2014 and 2017, and also in touchdowns and receiving yards in the 2018 season. But his relationship with the Steelers was not a good one, especially in relation to Ben Roethlisberger. In 2019, Brown was traded the Oakland Raiders who made him the highest-paid player in the league. Brown's time with Oakland was short. Following a series of off-field incidents, including a dispute with general manager Mike Mayock and general manager, Brown was released by the team, but he never played in a regular-season game. Brown was signed shortly thereafter with the New England Patriots, but was dismissed after playing in a single game. The NFL was investigating accusations of sexual assault against Brown in the moment. He was an unrestricted free agent throughout 2019 and into 2020, however, the team he signed was Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the Buccaneers, he won Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs. Following the 2021 season, the team was cut.
