ORLANDO, Fla. — Antonio Brown recorded more than 100 catches for a sixth consecutive season and led the NFL in receiving yards for the second time in the past five years. His 1,533 yards were 89 more than his closest competitor, and he did it in only 14 games because a calf injury prevented him from playing in the final two games of the regular season.
It’s easy to see Brown’s greatness simply by watching him play, but how does a 5-foot-10 former sixth-round draft choice become the receiver of his generation?
Well, even in the most casual of atmospheres — the Pro Bowl being the most casual of any NFL setting — Brown provided a glimpse into what drives him to be the best.
