Antonio Brown has a brand new shoe. On Tuesday, Nike released the "Nike Tech Trainer Antonio Brown" that can be had for $100. Brown, 30, is widely regarded as the NFL's best receiver. Last summer, he was voted by his peers as the second best player in the league in the NFL Network's annual Top 100 list. Brown was No. 4 on the list the previous year. Since 2013, Brown leads the entire NFL in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. He is the only player in league history to catch at least 100 passes in a season six continue times. His best statistical season took place in 2015, when he caught 136 passes for 1,834 yards and 10 touchdowns despite playing without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for parts of eight games due to various injuries. In 2017, Brown led the NFL with 1,533 receiving yards despite missing most of the team's last three games after sustaining a calf injury. Brown returned from the injury to catch seven passes for 132 yards and two scores in the team's playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A sixth round pick back in 2010, Brown burst on the NFL scene when he made a crucial catch in Pittsburgh's come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens in the 2010 playoffs while helping the Steelers advance to their third Super Bowl in six seasons. Brown became a Pro Bowler and was also named team MVP in 2011 after helping the Steelers win 12 regular season games for a second consecutive year. Brown's first major statistical season took place in 2013, when he recorded 1,499 receiving yards, a team record at the time. Brown surpassed that total each of the next two seasons while earning his place as the best receiver of his era. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall said that he felt sorry for Antonio Brown in a flurry of tweets early Thursday morning. The two played together during the first three seasons of Brown's career.

In 2017, Brown signed a four-year, $68 million extension with the team that will keep him with the Steelers through the 2021 season. In 2018, he caught 104 passes for 1 ,297 yards and 15 touchdowns in 15 games. His season ended in turmoil, however, as Brown was held out of Pittsburgh's regular season finale after skipping the team's Saturday walkthrough. Team president Art Rooney II said that "all options are on the table" with regard to Brown's future after he continued to ignore phone calls from Rooney as well as other members of the team shortly after the 2018 season concluded. The one thing that has alluded Brown during to this point in his career is a Super Bowl ring. After losing the Super Bowl as a rookie, Brown's Steelers missed the playoffs during the 2012 and '13 seasons before falling to the Ravens in the 2014 AFC wild card round.
