It’s pretty remarkable to think about not only how quickly but how frequently the Pittsburgh Steelers have been able to have varying degrees of success in terms of restocking the wide receiver position around their core player. That was Hines Ward for years, and now it’s Antonio Brown.
Brown is the only wide receiver on the roster other than Darrius Heyward-Bey who has even been on the team prior to 2017. When he first emerged, he was flanked by Emmanuel Sanders and Jerricho Cotchery. Then there was Markus Wheaton and Martavis Bryant.
