At 5’10” and 186 pounds, Antonio Brown is on the smaller side for a wide receiver. But when it comes to natural talent, he towers over the rest of the NFL. Possessing an electric combination of speed, strength, agility, and hand-eye coordination, the former Pittsburgh Steelers and now-New England Patriots star has rewritten the record books in past seasons, setting a new mark for the most receptions by any player over a four-year span with an astonishing 481 catches from 2013-2016. That production helped the Steelers offense become one of the most productive in the NFL, and it’s made Brown an elite star. But while natural ability has a huge role in Brown’s rise, his hard work off the field and in the weight room has paid major dividends. All that hard work is why he was able to muscle through three Baltimore Ravens players—safety Matt Elam, safety Eric Weddle, and linebacker Zach Orr, a combined 640 pounds—to score the game-winning touchdown in Week 16 of the 2016 season and help the Steelers clinch the AFC North division. With the score tied 24-24 with just nine seconds left and the division title on the line, Brown caught the ball at the 2-yard line and refused to be stopped:
