When one talks about wide receivers in the NFL. Antonio Brown is certainly one name you cannot ignore. The wide receiver has been instrumental for the Pittsburgh Steelers over the years and at 33, Brown has maintained those standards for the Bucs.

Brown had a game-high 93 yards on nine catches in the Bucs’ triumph on Thursday, connecting with Tom Brady for a 23-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Despite missing Week 3 because of a COVID-19 designation, the 33-year-old wideout has been effective in his five games this season, ranking second in yards behind Mike Evans (418) and tied for second in end zone visits with Evans and Rob Gronkowski (4).
