Antonio Brown was one of the top WRs before being mired in controversy. His time with the Steelers was one of the most fruitful for the WR. Since he would win most of the honors with the Pittsburgh outfit in his 8-year stay. Brown went on to deck his accolades with 7x Pro Bowls and 4x All-Pro awards, all with the Steelers. But he would make his permanent mark down the line after a few years of quiet away from the pitch.

Following his move to the Bucs in 2020, he’d end up winning the elusive Super Bowl to add to his collection alongside Tom Brady. His efforts on the pitch have led him to be ranked in the top 5 WRs by fellow star DK Metcalf.

The Seahawks man is one of the top WRs in the league at the moment and his picks were one with some serious depth and controversy. Metcalf names Julio Jones, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, and Randy Moss as 4 of the top 5 WRs of all time. But the top spot was reserved for the Steelers man, Antonio Brown.

Irrespective of all the controversies that AB has brought onto himself over the years, DK continues to rate him. Now that Brown has transitioned into the life of a retired NFL star, he picked up habits and interests from his bucket list. But his desire to become a musician is one that has been the most well-known, as he turned to it in a flip, months after retirement. It’s safe to say it has been entertaining for some.

Brown quit the NFL in acrimonious fashion after walking out on the Bucs mid-game. This prompted the franchise to cut him loose which inspired AB to take up music. The former WR has always maintained an interest in the industry and now got to take his chance. But the chance did not pay out as he would have expected. Following his performances, Brown would experience a mild and meager turnout from the fans whenever he took to the stage.

He would go on to become a matter of humor with zero hype from the fans at his concerts. But he has continued to persevere with his interests. Since turning to music, Brown has rebranded himself as an entertainer and a mogul, something he’d address on the Tyreek Hill podcast.
