Antonio Brown (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13934/antonio-brown) is coming off one of the two best statistical seasons ever by a Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers) wide receiver. He is the only wideout on the roster who played more than 200 snaps for the Steelers last season.

And respected veteran Jerricho Cotchery (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5633/jerricho-cotchery) is now catching passes for the Carolina Panthers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/car/carolina-panthers).

I agree. Most players in the NFL are physically gifted to a certain extent, but who are the ones that transcend that and enter the realm of greatness? Montana, Manning, Brady, and especially Jerry Rice will be considered amongst the best ever, not because they relied on their physical talents, but because they were willing to outwork everyone else. I see a lot of that in AB. I'm not saying he's gonna be a Hall of Famer, but if he's not, it won't be for lack of effort.

I certainly believe AB has a Hall of Fame work ethic.
