Steelers WR Antonio Brown Honors Miami Legends Jose Fernandez, Kimbo Slice On Cleats

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is coming home Sunday when his team faces off against the Miami Dolphins.

But instead of Miami honoring a returning star, Brown is paying it forward.

The flashy wide out, known for his larger-than-life persona, has created custom cleats commemorating the lives of two local legends: Jose Fernandez and Kimbo Slice.

Fernandez, in many ways, was the baseball equivalent of Brown.
