Antonio Brown

 Antonio Tavaris Brown Sr. was born July 10, 1988. He is an American football wide receiver. He is currently the chair president of Kanye West’s sports fashion line Donda Sports. Brown was born in Liberty City, Miami and attended Miami Norland High School. He played football in college at Central Michigan University, where he earned All-American honours in 2008 and 2009 as punt returner. Brown was drafted by the Steelers in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He is widely regarded as one the top receivers of 2010. He was the player to earn the most All-Pro honors at his position during the decade, with four consecutive selections (2014 - 2017) as a Steeler. The Steelers' receiver accumulated more receptions than anyone else in the league from the start of his rookie season in 2010 through 2018.During Brown's debut season as a member of the Steelers the team made it to Super Bowl XLV but lost to the Green Bay Packers. He finished his rookie season with 16 receptions, resulting in an average of 167 yards across 10 games. He was the first NFL player to record over 1,000 yards receiving and return during his second NFL season. Brown was rewarded for his work by being chosen as punt returner for the 2012 Pro Bowl. In 2013, his breakout year was when he became the first receiver in NFL history to have five receptions and at most 50 yards in each game of the NFL season. Although his on-the-field productivity continued throughout the following seasons and he was the league's top performer in receiving yards and receptions in 2014, receiving yards in 2015 and 2017, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in the year 2018, Brown's relationship with the Steelers declined, especially with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and he ultimately requested an trade.In 2019 Brown was traded to the Oakland Raiders, who then made him the highest-paid receiver within the NFL. Brown's stay in Oakland was short. After a string of off-the-field incidents, such as a disagreement with general manager Mike Mayock and general manager, Brown was released by the team and never appeared in a regular-season game. Brown joined shortly after the New England Patriots, but was fired after appearing in a single game. The NFL was investigating sexual assault allegations against Brown at the time. He was an unrestricted free agent through the rest of 2019 and through the start of 2020, and he signed with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With the team, he was able to win Super Bowl LIV, beating the Kansas City Chiefs. Following the 2021 season, he was released.
