Steelers WRs study 1,000-play Antonio Brown tape for inspiration
Steelers receivers reveal they actively study a 1,000-target tape of Antonio Brown to emulate his unmatched practice intensity.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver room has been studying Antonio Brown's film extensively, incorporating roughly 1,000 targets from his decade-long NFL career into their preparation. Germie Bernard, Michael Pittman Jr., and Roman Wilson, the current Steelers receivers, have openly shared their admiration for Brown's route running skills and work ethic.
Michael Pittman Jr. shared that Brown is one of the top three receivers he emulates on the field. Heyward, who played alongside Brown in Pittsburgh, echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Brown's relentless practice routine, which saw him excel in every aspect of the game – from receiving to punt returns and kickoffs. Despite Brown's tumultuous time in Pittsburgh, the team recognizes that studying his tape offers a blueprint to achieve consistency and technical refinement in the Black and Gold.
