Antonio Brown may not be an active NFL player, but he still has a tremendous impact on the NFL community. Every AB enthusiast may easily recall his crazy dance steps, which gave birth to a new TikTok trend. Recently, the thing came out of the social media platform during a Steelers game after a WR ‘Put That S*** On.’

The crazy moment happened during the preseason game between the Steelers and Seahawks. WR George Pickens has become the talk of Pittsburgh, as the Georgia product appears to be the next great Steelers wideout. But he caught the attention of an ex-Steelers great, possibly earning his approval as the next big thing.

After netting a touchdown in the first quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game against Seattle on Saturday night, Pickens executed the viral Antonio Brown waltz. Admittedly, he did a good job, and it pleasantly surprised AB, the true trendsetter. Brown re-shared the video shared by PFF on Twitter and left some positive words on it.

The only thing sleeker than Pickens’ AB-style celebration was his touchdown. The 21-year-old caught a 26-yard throw from Mason Rudolph and accomplished a fantastic toe-drag to remain within limits in the goal line’s back corner. His quick feet helped the Steelers to a 14-0 spur.

The dance has to be done with AB’s original song, ‘Put That S*** On’. It may look tacky, but the dance might be the league’s latest dancing sensation — something like Justin Jefferson’s Griddy celebration.
