People may not be quick to recognize Steelers' WR Antonio Brown outside of Pittsburgh, but he's making his mark on his team, its opponents and the NFL.
Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown holds some odd records in the NFL.
He's the first and only player to gain 1,000 receiving yards and 1,000 punt return yards in the same year. Last night, in Pittsburgh's 37-19 win over the Carolina Panthers, Brown became just the second player with at least five catches and 50 yards in 19 consecutive games, sharing that mark with ex-Jets and Redskins receiver Laveraneus Coles.
Last night, he also passed Santonio Holmes for 11th place all time in receiving yards in team history. With another 200 receiving yards, he'll pass Mike Wallace for 9th place. He also topped Franco Harris's record for all-purpose yards in the first five years of his career, reaching 6,189 in the span of only four years and three games.
He'd have a tough time capturing these accolades on a resume, but he really shouldn't need to. Those who follow the Steelers certainly know who Brown is, but with big-time performances in prime time like his 10-catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns, those outside Pittsburgh should take notice as well.
