Antonio Brown

No. 84, Wide Receiver. Pittsburgh Steelers. ANTONIO BROWN. 29.

Antonio Brown, 29, is a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. He has played for the Steelers ever since he was drafted by the team in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Brown is 5’10” tall and weighs 181 pounds. In the 2017 season, he caught 101 passes for 1,533 yards and nine touchdowns and returned 11 punts for 61 yards.

Over the course of his eight-year career in the NFL, Brown has caught 733 passes for 9,910 yards and 59 touchdowns. He has run the ball 31 times for 119 yards, returned 47 kickoffs for 1,173 yards and one touchdown, returned 186 punts for 1,759 yards and four touchdowns, and thrown the ball five time for three completions (60.0% completion percentage), 35 yards and one touchdown.

Brown achieved his career-high of 136 receptions in the 2015 season, his career-high of 1,834 receiving yards in the 2015 season, and his career-high of 13 receiving touchdowns in the 2014 season.

With how agile Brown is and how great he is at catching footballs, he certainly has the athleticism and dexterity required to drive an IndyCar. At 5’10” and 181 pounds, he would also be able to fit into a car quite well.
