A career retrospective of one of the NFL's most memorable wide receivers, Antonio Brown. Follow BLITZ Instagram: / blitz Imagery supplied by Getty Images
This dude was amazing for a solid decade, won a Super Bowl and judging him based off his mental capacity is unfair since we know the man likely has CTE
Ego & Pride A Mf…some of us are mature minded enough to say enough is enough. I believe he fell out of love with the game after winning a championship the hunger & desire for the game wasn’t 100%
He put together arguably the greatest 5 year stretch in NFL history for a wideout. I think AB at his peak is right up there with Moss, Rice, Megatron and T.O. in terms of dominance. He was a 5'10 guy with perfect route movements, phenomenal hands, and ALWAYS caught the ball in bounds. I think AB could've gone down as the greatest WR of all time had he not gone off the deep end. I still think he gets into the HOF years down the road.
Phenomenal job telling his story. As a lifetime steelers fan, I always wanted a one of a kind Steelers receiver, and they gave us Hines Ward. But Antonio Brown is a generational talent. I appreciate the excitement and electricity he brought to Pittsburgh and helping Bruce win a ring.
He was one of a handful of receivers in NFL history that were uncoverable even with safety help. His short area quickness, reaction time, foot speed and eye/hand are all off the charts. Twitchy af but straightens his path to get angles. Elite of the elite for 5-6 years. HOF imo.
His story with the entire college process is actually very motivating and inspirational. I had my own problems in college and while I never had to do this, it’s not easy to pack up and go back home or go somewhere else. Something like that would be beyond stressful. And then to still be motivated to try another school, with no help, is not something I could have done.
AB was sooooo good. It’s unfortunate that he ended his career the way he did. I hope he gets the help He needs mentally. Maybe he was very widely understood but I think being under the spotlight really hurt him. They’ll let you be you when things go well, but they’ll destroy when things don’t.
No matter what AB 84 is a all time receiver aside the off field stuff which isnt our businesses to deal with im just evaluating the player and he definitely is a top 10 all time wr
The fact these Steelers couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Big Ben. Antonio Brown, and Levion Bell is insane!!!!! Watching those years was a blessing and a pain
💥💥Well I've been watching the NFL football since 1990 and I honestly say I've seen a lot of great receivers and Antonio Brown is definitely one of them. He is one of the most talented most unguardable receivers I've ever seen in my life.
Burfict didn't even hit him in the head you all need to go watch the play again. His personality is just that. If you're not a fan you're entitled to your opinion personally I find him entertaining. Tremendous player and nobody can deny that!
He was good until he ruined his own career by making terrible decisions and making bad choices. He won’t be a Hall of Famer because of his on and off the field problems. He didn’t get along with his teammates or his coaches. He was his own worst nightmare. He was problematic. He was a maniac.
Hes a first ballot hall of famer its not a question for what he did on the feild which is the only thing that should count, hes arguably top 5 wrs all time
The Steelers starting WRs in 2011 were Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. It's crazy that AB got so many yards being the team's #3 WR. Ward only had 381 receiving yards the entire season and didn't even average 10 yards per catch.
His youth life also could be a reason for his behavior. Growing up like that ain’t easy it takes a life long toll while also teaching you unhealthy mental n emotional habits. Not making excuses for the man just looking at his side of the hourglass
It's crazy that people will sit here and say he's stupid or crazy because he didn't want to be treated like property or controlled by the NFL system... smh
He’s the greatest wr in nfl history. I’m a pats fan so I’m being unbiased. I understand he has horrible off the field decision making but his football ability is god like. He’s top 10 in receiving yards and missed a ton of games. If you do the math he could easily have 25k receiving yards. Yes he’s that good.
You didnt mention the hit that nearly took his life and caused instant CTE, which is when his erratic behavior started. Prior to that, he was flamboyant and fun. He will never be stable again, all because of one hit.
Hes a 1st ballot HoFer but hes insane off the field so he'll never make it in. Id put him up there with like Julio Jones as a talent. He had one of the best stretches by a WR ever
Majority of the clowns Talking trash about AB never got a Touchdown in their lives . AB The Greatest WR of this Generation , he makes it look too easy with very small effort , Legend 👏
He was cursed talent. I would venture to say that he was better than TO, Moss and Jerry Rice (except stats). But talent, he was amazing. He was a tortured soul. Blessed as an athlete, but demons live on his shoulders, rent free. He is HOF material, but the noise his antics make, it’ll drown out all his accomplishments. Such a waste of incredible talent
he got into a fight because he only needed a couple more rec for a big contract bonus... and the coach took him out, and rightfully so he thought it was because he was keeping him from getting the bonus.... so he walked out pretty sad because they did it for gronk to make sure that he got his money
@@roxtarw0w no matter how rich or poor you are…. You’ll always deep down, want more. You may not be able to spend it all, but what about the generations of family you can support
This dude was amazing for a solid decade, won a Super Bowl and judging him based off his mental capacity is unfair since we know the man likely has CTE
Exactly and he was never COMPENSATED!!!!!
@gainlabs dude has made over 100M I think that counts as compensated
He’s a scum bag , and was a terrible person before the burfict hit
Didn’t even mention tha hit
Not to mention a troubled childhood, his mental trauma is through the roof
He’s a hall of famer. If ppl say he’s not, then they blind because they’ve never seen him play in his prime. Bro was a beast in Pittsburg
Carried by 2 hall of fame QBs
@@marktaylor1788 Who caught those balls? How much YAC did he have? Gtfoh
So freaking good. 5 years of pure domination. Dude was such a good player, and incredibly likeable. Man, that turned quick though 🙄😂

Ima be honest living in an area where "the drug dealers go to jail" doesn't sound too bad 😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it weird id rather live next to a drug dealer than next to a cop?
His 1,800 yard season was four games without Ben at Qb
Phenomenal job telling his story. As a lifetime steelers fan, I always wanted a one of a kind Steelers receiver, and they gave us Hines Ward. But Antonio Brown is a generational talent. I appreciate the excitement and electricity he brought to Pittsburgh and helping Bruce win a ring.
The Killer Bees never winning a ring together is one of the biggest travesties of the 2010s
Facts.
Bro ngl Ab is the reason y i became a steelers fan he was my favorite we growing up not it's sad what's been going on wit him
He was one of a handful of receivers in NFL history that were uncoverable even with safety help. His short area quickness, reaction time, foot speed and eye/hand are all off the charts. Twitchy af but straightens his path to get angles. Elite of the elite for 5-6 years. HOF imo.

Can’t stop watching this channel 😜
Me either!
@NoStudyPoker Yeah me either!
You should make basketball videos.
You guys should make baseball-related videos!
@@bonzobonanza Bro copy-pasted my comment...
One coach, one call. "Hey man, you could earn a scholarship" Just gave him the option.
AB is definitely a HOF, but his reckless antics on and off the field is going to postpone his HOF invite.
Great video as always🙌
He gave my ravens problems but dude couldn’t stay outta trouble
Bro i hated going against the Steelers back when they had the Killer bee's
With Ben Ab and Bell
It’d be great if you did How Good Was Josh Gordon. He’s got a roller coaster story as well.
He had one great season. A couple mid seasons. And a few the rest were trash.
@@Killacam1992 thank God you ain’t making the video.
@@NoStudyPoker thank god he ain’t listening to you on ideas for videos because your idea was trash.
It's true . He had one great season. The rest were nothing special. All time great talent though. But immaturity
Josh Gordon is currently playing in the XFL, he’s trying to fight his way back into the NFL
As a Steelers fan growing up watching him, this will be good😂
The fact that I forgot he was accused of rape is a testament to how insane he acts all the time
AB was sooooo good. It’s unfortunate that he ended his career the way he did. I hope he gets the help
He needs mentally. Maybe he was very widely understood but I think being under the spotlight really hurt him. They’ll let you be you when things go well, but they’ll destroy when things don’t.
No matter what AB 84 is a all time receiver aside the off field stuff which isnt our businesses to deal with im just evaluating the player and he definitely is a top 10 all time wr
Please do 'How good was Jamaal Charles' next
6:38 look at that list. Take me back man
We all know he’s an amazing WR. So why ask the question like that? Regardless of his behavior now… his work on the field speaks for itself
the title isnt the point its just going over his career and thats a title that draws clicks
The fact these Steelers couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Big Ben. Antonio Brown, and Levion Bell is insane!!!!! Watching those years was a blessing and a pain
This video was awesome I think an Odell one would be a good vid
my favorite wideout growing up. its a shame how bad mentally he became
Same here, he’s who made me fall in love with football, what a fall from grace
Mike Tomlin should get an award for dealing with ab for so long
Amazing.
💥💥Well I've been watching the NFL football since 1990 and I honestly say I've seen a lot of great receivers and Antonio Brown is definitely one of them. He is one of the most talented most unguardable receivers I've ever seen in my life.
The answer, regardless of anything else, is really, really, really good
Still got my Steelers jersey favorite receiver ever baby
Still my favorite athlete
This guy was so good playing football 🏈 I don’t know why was causing so much problems. He could’ve easily become one of the best .
He has CTE brain damage. It makes you reckless and lowers inhibition.
YOU'RE STILL THE #1 G.O.A.T. AND A STEELER FOREVERMORE ❤
Tbh this guy is really a all time great reciever and hes also a first ballot hall of famer but he will probably
I actually forgot how good AB was until I watched this 😅
Shows that yall worry about the wrong things
Gotta do Jordy Nelson next 🙏🏾
I think you should do how good was Emmanuel Sanders, Eli Manning, Archie Manning, Demaryius Thomas, or how bad was Akili Smith
how can you make a AB video withou mentioning the burfict hit?!
Didn’t mention that devastating hit that left him with a brutal concussion that more than likely affected his mental health permanently
How ya not gonna talk about the vontaze burfict incident??? That shit changed his life
My goat AB 6 year run is unmatched
Very good🎉❤
The b roll is comedic
They really should mention how he got his brain scrambled by Vontaze Burfect, he was never really a locker room issue until then.
The vontez hit made him crazy
As a 9er fan, Joe broke my heart in 2013 ngl.
Steelers top 5. Can’t deny
God bless you all
What is crazy he'll be a HOF player who will never be in the HOF because of his antics.
Nino brown is a menace on and off the field.
Put this dude in the Hall of Fame.. His numbers speak for themselves.
Wonder what his speech would be like
Burfict didn't even hit him in the head you all need to go watch the play again. His personality is just that. If you're not a fan you're entitled to your opinion personally I find him entertaining. Tremendous player and nobody can deny that!
Mans got a ring. We don't play forever. Aaron Donald just retired.
He's crazy it's cte
PLEEEEEEAAAASE DO AJ GREEN!
HALL OF FAMER 🔥
Man.. imagine if he could have stayed with the Steelers. Ben and him could have won 2 more Super Bowls
🙏🙌🔥
He was good until he ruined his own career by making terrible decisions and making bad choices. He won’t be a Hall of Famer because of his on and off the field problems. He didn’t get along with his teammates or his coaches. He was his own worst nightmare. He was problematic. He was a maniac.
Hes a first ballot hall of famer its not a question for what he did on the feild which is the only thing that should count, hes arguably top 5 wrs all time
I guess
Should have mentioned Burfict. He’s to blame.
how do you play 3 games and have over 1000 receiving yards
Start*
The Steelers starting WRs in 2011 were Mike Wallace and Hines Ward. It's crazy that AB got so many yards being the team's #3 WR. Ward only had 381 receiving yards the entire season and didn't even average 10 yards per catch.
really ? so many chans but no actual footage ? because most scenes anyone can find in other vids already dont show AB.
His youth life also could be a reason for his behavior. Growing up like that ain’t easy it takes a life long toll while also teaching you unhealthy mental n emotional habits. Not making excuses for the man just looking at his side of the hourglass
It's crazy that people will sit here and say he's stupid or crazy because he didn't want to be treated like property or controlled by the NFL system... smh
DECENT STORY but we know after the burfit hit to the head antonio brown was never the same
Pops wearing a “world best farter/father” shirt?
He’s the greatest wr in nfl history. I’m a pats fan so I’m being unbiased. I understand he has horrible off the field decision making but his football ability is god like. He’s top 10 in receiving yards and missed a ton of games. If you do the math he could easily have 25k receiving yards. Yes he’s that good.
Dude was a lock in for the hall of fame but threw it all away
This dude coulda finshed as a top 5 wr all time, so sad man
It is that madden curse
Top 5 WR all time
Malik Nabers literally play's just like this dude
1st ballot
AB is the greatest receiver of all time. Yup, I said that!
of the 2010s, maybe
You didnt mention the hit that nearly took his life and caused instant CTE, which is when his erratic behavior started. Prior to that, he was flamboyant and fun. He will never be stable again, all because of one hit.
His brain just got fried it’s sad he was a beast man
Biggest dope in league history. There.. it's official. And don't think that buccs Superbowl ring doesn't get pawned sooner than later
Has he even officially retired from the game of football or NFL
mans a hero in miami. dolphins need to grab him hed ball so hard for miami.
Hes a 1st ballot HoFer but hes insane off the field so he'll never make it in. Id put him up there with like Julio Jones as a talent. He had one of the best stretches by a WR ever
Yeah,it was the last contract he received that pissed Big Ben off. Sabotaged it all just for clout
Majority of the clowns Talking trash about AB never got a Touchdown in their lives .
AB The Greatest WR of this Generation , he makes it look too easy with very small effort , Legend 👏
I blame Burfect for AB's downfall
Title just underrating him should be how “great “ he was
It’s the madden curse
That CTE ruined his life
Him a Julio ran the league for years that burfict hit broke AB and Julio got old
Antics and selfishness stand up louder than production every time.
Maybe his history got to him
Im confused is this nonstop sports?
He was cursed talent. I would venture to say that he was better than TO, Moss and Jerry Rice (except stats). But talent, he was amazing. He was a tortured soul. Blessed as an athlete, but demons live on his shoulders, rent free. He is HOF material, but the noise his antics make, it’ll drown out all his accomplishments. Such a waste of incredible talent
Tony toe tap!!
Who told him 8X4=32?
0:25 Bro that can’t be his mom bruh 🧐
Hi
he got into a fight because he only needed a couple more rec for a big contract bonus... and the coach took him out, and rightfully so he thought it was because he was keeping him from getting the bonus.... so he walked out
pretty sad because they did it for gronk to make sure that he got his money
Why would he care about money at this point of his career though. already earned more than he could ever spend in one lifetime
@@roxtarw0w no matter how rich or poor you are…. You’ll always deep down, want more. You may not be able to spend it all, but what about the generations of family you can support
Wow copy and paste from other UA-camrs smh
Sooo AB has always had off the field issues……so it’s not CTE…
