From one aspect, Antonio Brown has a chance
WR Antonio Brown had a spectacular time with the Steelers. Even his statistics have significant numbers to back him up. Even senior NFL analyst Mike Tanier provides his outlook on the situation. He believes that, on a statistical note, AB stands a chance.
Tanier mentions, “Brown is NOT a clear-cut first ballot selection based on his statistics, though some will inevitably claim he is. His statistical case and Pro Bowl/All-Pro count line up roughly with those of Andre Johnson, who is currently in the finalist queue, and contemporaries such as Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins, who will reach the ballot process at the same time as Brown.”

Also, I'm here to jog your memory about this ludicrous catch by Antonio Brown, one of the best in recent times.
As @CollinsworthPFF put it: "I think that is one of the most brilliant plays I've seen in a very long time."

Antonio Brown stood out during his time in the NFL. He had seven Pro Bowls and four All-Pro selections with incredible playmaking capabilities. His talent got him the chance to work with three different teams.
Will AB’s on-field troubles become the hurdle?
Off-field controversies are kept out of consideration for the Hall of Fame cases to make fair judgment calls. But as per the senior NFL analyst, the Hall of Famer candidate must abide by the Hall’s stated values. If AB’s history is correct, the chances are slowly depleting for him.

AB has had a history of troubles, from the dispute with Steelers’ colleagues and coaching staff to the walkout from the Bucs during a game. Brown’s actions may not disqualify him, but according to Tanier, the chances of these actions being held against him are high.
Brown may have a situation very familiar with Hall of Famer Terrell Owens. But if we go by Tanier’s words, Brown is not nearly as eligible as Owens, and his infractions are much worse. Following an ACL tear, Owens returned to assist the Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX and garnered more support from the voting public.
