Ryan Shazier Opens Up About Antonio Brown, Says He's 'Super About Attention'

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier gave his thoughts Friday about wide receiver as a teammate and friend.

During Thursday's episode of The Ringer NFL Show (h/t Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), Shazier suggested that Brown values being the center of attention: "The biggest thing for me with Antonio is he's all for attention. He's super about attention, man—on the field, off the field."

Shazier, who announced his retirement in September after a serious spinal cord injury cost him the 2018 and 2019 seasons, was Brown's teammate in Pittsburgh from 2014 until Brown's departure after the 2018 campaign.
