Former Steelers WR Antonio Brown eligible for the HOF in 2027

[ASFN Admin]

We all know that former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and legend Ben Roethlisberger is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But meanwhile, another former Steelers from that era is eligible as well, and that is wide receiver, Antonio Brown. Where we think Roethlisberger goes in on the first ballot, the discussion of Brown is far more complicated.

Brown's numbers are a mixed tale. From 2013-2018, there was no better receiver in the league. Still to this day, that six-season stretch is one of the greatest of all time. But is a six-season stretch of elite play counter his final three seasons and all of the non-football drama he brought upon himself and the league?

Here are some numbers for Brown:

928 receptions

12,291 receiving yards

83 receiving touchdowns

4x first-team All-Pro

1x second-team All-Pro

7x Pro Bowl

2x NFL receptions leader

2x NFL receiving yards leader

1x NFL touchdown leader

Will Antonio Brown make the HOF
