A humble Antonio Brown thanks his former quarterback for helping him be the fastest player to get to 900 catches in NFL history.
Earlier this week Brown talked to the media about his accomplishment and said he couldn’t have done it without some help.
“Being able to play with some great quarterbacks, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, it’s a blessing to be able to play with guys like that,” said Brown.
After a falling out with Roethlisberger and other Steelers players, Brown went on an apology tour in 2020 before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning his first Super Bowl.
Brown thanked Ben on social media last year saying, “I never realized how good I had it.”
837 of the 906 catches he has made in his career came mostly off the arm of Roethlisberger, with his racking up 11,207 total yard.
While he isn’t the best wide receiver in the NFL anymore, he is still making an impact for Tampa, catching 20 of the 29 targets that have come his way this season for 325 yards and three touchdowns.
Brady recently talked about Brown maturing and how he has become like a brother to him.
“He's really done an amazing job in his own life getting back to what the real purpose of it is,” Brady said on the “Let’s Go” podcast on Sirius XM.
Brown has a long history of criminal and civil lawsuits in his troubled past but has kept his nose pretty clean during his time with Tampa.
