There was a time when the Pittsburgh Steelers had a chance to build one of the most dynamic receiving units of all time. But money split them up sending Emmanuel Sanders and Mike Wallace out of Pittsburgh, leaving only Antonio Brown.
Sanders spoke about his relationship with the Steelers and specifically, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after his San Francisco 49ers won the NFC Championship. And Sanders admitted that he’d love to come back and play with the Steelers but also conceded his relationship with Roethlisberger. He implied Roethlisberger was a jerk early in his career which helped cause the rift.
Sanders went on to have a very solid career after leaving the Steelers. But if you are a Steelers fan you have to wonder once in a while what a receiver corps of Brown, Sanders and Wallace could have done with Big Ben throwing them the football. Or even if the Steelers would have decided to pay one of the other three instead of Brown.
