missed out on All-Pro honors because of last week’s trantrum.Or Ryan Switzer Jersey , you could look at the numbers.The Steelers wideout did not make the list, despite leading the league in touchdown receptions.聽Of course, the other receivers named all put up better numbers in other categories.The first-team picks were Saints wideout Michael Thomas (125 receptions for 1,405 yards and nine touchdowns) and DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans (115-1,572-11).The second-team choices were Atlanta’s Julio Jones (113-1,677-8) and Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill (87-1 Mason Rudolph Jersey ,479-12).Thomas led the league in receptions. Jones led the league in receiving yards. All four are still involved in the playoffs, as well.Brown finished the year with 104 catches for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns. That’s ninth in the league in receptions and 11th in yards, and he was behind Steelers teammate (and team MVP JuJu Smith-Schuster 111-1,426-7) in both categories.In terms of raw votes, Hopkins led the way Ernie Stautner Jersey , named on 46 of the 50 ballots. Thomas was next with 21, followed by Jones (17), Hill (6), Davante Adams (4), and then Brown and聽Adam Thielen (2). Mike Evans and Smith-Schuster each got a single vote.Brown’s an amazing player, one of the best in the game. And if the Steelers decided to fold and trade him away this offseason Joe Haden Jersey , they’ll have teams lined up trying to acquire him. But it doesn’t necessarily require a conspiracy or a grudge to suggest he’s not one of this year’s top four players at his position. The parallels between Antonio Brown wanting out of Pittsburgh and Terrell Owens wanting out of Philadelphia became obvious from the moment Brown threw a ball at a teammate and stormed out of practice only days before the last regular-season game of the 2018 season. And the connection between the two almost assumed a coincidental-to-the-point-of-bizarre quality on Friday.Ten years ago today, on March 8, 2009, Owens signed with the Buffalo Bills, a team that as of midnight on March 8, 2019 reportedly was close to trading for Brown. (And James Washington Jersey , yes, it really has been 10 years.)Owens signed in Buffalo only two days after being released by the Cowboys. Brown has been trying to get out of Pittsburgh for weeks, but he reportedly had no interest in playing for the Bills.Although the Bills have a promising young quarterback in Josh Allen, the AFC East continues to run through New England. Given the struggles his current team has had with the Patriots, Brown surely realizes it wouldn’t have gotten any easier with the Bills — at least until Tom Brady finally retires. If he ever does.
