Yesterday was the first opportunity that the media was able to subject Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown to questioning this offseason, ever since it was rumored back before the draft that there was more to his absence during voluntary workouts than just wanting to spend more time with his newborn, which is, of course, a more than valid excuse—to the point where even using the term ‘excuse’ verges on insulting.
Naturally, though, Brown was asked early and often about those April rumors, in which it was told that he was mulling over the possibilities that he could pursue in his quest for a new contract, including skipping the very OTAs at which he fielded questions yesterday.
