Antonio Brown has never had a problem rising above his peers. Since he first reached the height of his game with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has surrounded him with capable to very good complementary wide receivers, but it hasn’t been until this season that any has ever significantly threatened to outclass him statistically.
11 games into the 2018 regular season, second-year JuJu Smith-Schuster, who figures to go over 2000 career receiving yards on Sunday, leads the Steelers in both receptions and receiving yards, with 77 for 1055 to Brown’s 71 for 874.
