Another Pittsburgh Steelers player has decided to back out of the 2017 Pro Bowl.
Pro Football Talk reports Monday night that Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has decided not to play in the annual NFL all-star game that will take place in Orlando, Fla. on Sunday. Brown was voted to the Pro Bowl a fifth time in December. He will be replaced by Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.
One has to wonder if Brown backed out of the game to avoid having to interact with the media and answer questions about his Facebook Live video that he broadcasted from the Steelers locker room following the teams win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
