Stable Steelers arrive in style for training camp
The Steelers wide receiver arrived to the first day of training camp on Saturday in a customized black and gold Rolls-Royce and put an end to the hold out speculation.
So many of Antonio Brown’s points are scored because of his quickness, sound route running and double moves which buys Roethlisberger time to move around the pocket and at the same time adds another dimension to the Steelers offense.
With Pittsburgh’s defense nearing the tail end of an identity shift as one generation gives way to the next, the franchise’s identity and unquestioned strength lies in a quarterback at the peak of his powers and two of the game’s emerging stars in the versatile Bell and the dynamic Brown.
Rather than engage management in a staring contest, Brown – who has three years remaining on the $42.5 million deal he agreed to in 2012 – made an entrance that could hardly be called understated.
“Holdouts never go well”, Brown said. “It always ends badly”, Brown said Saturday. I pull up to camp in Rolls-Royces. The Steelers will be at Saint Vincent for an extra week this year after being chosen to play in the Hall of Fame game on August. 9 against Minnesota.

Now he’s commanding the attention of everyone else off of it. To pass up on Brown in the late first round would be a mistake. “The pressure is on for us to be better”.
