Former teammate cites Antonio Brown’s improved speed as the 2018 season nears

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown does almost everything to perfection. But if there's one cut on Brown which is repeated often, it's about his speed.

You hear commentators and media state how he doesn’t have “breakaway speed”, and how he “can’t run by anyone.” While Brown certainly has made up for this lack of speed throughout his career with incredible elusiveness and agility, it doesn’t mean he's ignoring speed as an area for improvement.

In fact, this has been a focus of Brown’s for the past few seasons, and a former teammate took to his verified Twitter account to mention just how his speed has improved.
