Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown needed Tom Brady to finally claim his Super Bowl trophy—the one he wished he could have won with Ben Roethlisberger. While his behavior at the end of his tenure is inexcusable, his drive for greatness was also unquestionable. That’s something former Steelers LS Kameron Canaday touched on recently in discussing their relationship.
Boiling it down to a single point, Brown felt frustrated that Roethlisberger didn’t work as hard as he did. And at least where everybody can see, Roethlisberger certainly did not work as hard. The two players were at different points of their careers, but Roethlisberger has always wielded that reputation.
