***********
Yesterday the Steelers locked up the first receiver they took in the 2010 NFL Draft and today it is being reported that they have locked up 6th round draft pick, Antonio Brown. Brown has been one of the stars of this springs' practices in shoulder pads and shorts, and few reports have said he looked sharper than third round pick Emmanuel Sanders. Brown's deal is reported to be for three years and included a relatively small signing bonus of just $73k.
In his final season with the Central Michigan Chippewas Brown had over 100 catches and over 1000 yards while racking up nine touchdowns. Antonio is not the prototypical size for a NFL receiver at 5'10 and 180 pounds but hopefully he will be able to provide a spark to the return game as he was a two time MAC special teams player of the year. The signing of Brown leaves first round pick Maurkice Pouncey, second round pick, Jason Worilds, fifth round picks Chris Scott, Crezdon Butler, Sylvester Stevenson and sixth round pick Jonathan Dwyer left to sign.

I hope this cat pans out.......
Appears to be a cheap gamble and a potential baller. Now Randel El just needs to teach him where to punch……

some don't
because
a)their uncomfortable and b) you run faster without them or so it is believed, same reason why some don’t wear knee pads anymore, which could mean we should be seeing less knee injuries if these guys wore the proper equipment.

I remember Woodson
never wore thigh pads. He said it made him quicker. He was already super fast, so I guess that is how he played so long. I don’t know about the cup though. I never asked him.

Good!
No surprise, obviously, but I’ve been high on this guy from the get-go because he’s a baller with swagger, good hands and is really quick to get upfield. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finished camp as the no.4 receiver.
May he who has never had drunken sex cast the first shot glass!
I’m with you. I was high on him for punt returns and eventually taking over Hines slot demon role (catching passes not breaking LB’s) but he looks like he’ll be a threat on offense from the start. cheap contract too.
