Antonio Brown was the silver lining in a foggy, disjointed performance by the Steelers in their preseason opener against the Washington Redskins on Friday night.

The second-year receiver didn't stack up any awe-inspiring numbers: four catches for 64 yards. He didn't make any of the acrobatic catches that have become routine during an impressive training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe.

What the Central Michigan product did more than anything was gain the confidence of coach Mike Tomlin.
Last week, Tomlin wasn't ready to anoint Brown as the heir apparent to veteran Hines Ward. Yet in a game in which the Steelers staggered out of the gate en route to a 16-7 defeat, Brown was sharp enough to impress even his disappointed coach.......

Yes, he was a glimmering light in a game where most Steelers just did not show up. Good thing it is the preseason, but the youngsters need to impress NOW, not later.

This guy is fareal guys!!! He has the speed to beat you deep and is fearless in running the crossing routes. I think this will be hinds replacement in a yr. With wallace, sanders, and brown the whole field is in play with either guy!!!

What did I love the most about Brown?

His ATTITUDE!

He puts 100% into EVERYTHING he does and he is a team player.

He also blocked hard and was the first guy in the end zone greeting Redman after his touchdown if I'm not mistaken.

Hopefully his hustle and enthusiasm will be contagious!....
