If you are looking to the 2019 NFL draft for a replacement for wide receiver Antonio Brown, options are limited. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded a guy who excels in his route running and while not the biggest receiver can dominate on the outside with his speed and acceleration.
One guy in the upcoming draft who mirrors many of the same qualities is former Oklahoma star, Marquise Brown. And yes, he just happens to be the cousin of Antonio. But would be it awkward for Brown to be drafted by the Steelers? According to him, the answer is no.
Brown went on the Move the Chains podcast this week and had nothing but good things to say about Pittsburgh and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
I might be a little biased because my loyalties lie with the Steelers and the Sooners but I’d love to see Hollywood Brown in a Steelers uniform. There’s no doubt he has some flaws to his game. Physically I wonder how his body will handle a heavy workload in the NFL but the talent after the catch is on par with a guy like Tyreek Hill.
Brown had Lisfranc surgery in January but all reports are he is on track to be ready to start the regular season. Would you be ok with the Steelers drafting Brown, even if it cost a first round pick? The bigger question might be would Hollywood play hard for the team his cousin seems to have such hard feelings for?
