Antonio Brown calls himself greatest 6th-round pick, Tom Brady would like a word

You are kidding yourself if you don’t respect the type of NFL player wide receiver Antonio Brown built himself into coming out of college as a sixth-round pick. Despite the fact Brown’s career has gone down an odd path, there’s no denying he was. But this one might be a bit much.

Brown took to Twitter on Wednesday to partake in some thankless self-promotion sprinkled with some delusion when he called himself the greatest sixth-round pick of all time.

Reason being, back in 2000 there was this quarterback from Michigan who went in the sixth round with the 199th pick who turned out to be pretty good. You might have heard of him. Tom Brady.

Brown, when he was at his best will always be associated with being a member of the Steelers. And he has this franchise to thank for him even being in the conversation of one of the best of all time.
