Antonio Brown's season could have been even better if Big Ben hadn't gotten hurt

He has played four games with Michael Vick and Landry Jones at quarterback, which has affected his stats.

Brown's projected stats in a 16-game season with a healthy Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback: 158 catches, 2,160 yards.

That would shatter NFL records by 15 catches (eclipsing Marvin Harrison's 143 in 2002) and 196 yards (eclipsing Calvin Johnson's 1,964 in 2015). If Brown (currently at 116 catches and 1,586 yards) doesn't pass Johnson, he at least has Jerry Rice's 1,848 from 1995 in his sights.

quote:


Some statistical context:

• Brown is the fifth player in NFL history to have 1,400 receiving yards in three consecutive seasons.

• Brown is the first NFL player with multiple 16-reception games in the same season, according to Elias Sports Bureau. He became the first player since Wes Welker in 2011 to have at least 15 catches, 150 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns in a single game.

• Brown's 355 catches in three seasons is the largest total in any three-year stretch in NFL history.

Brown's recent play is a reminder of how well the Seahawks defended against him in late November, holding him to 51 yards in a Steelers loss.

He's currently the best receive in the league. With that being said, couldn't you raise the same issue with a guy like Dez Bryant or D.Hopkins? Both had sub-par QB's throwing to them for a large part of the season.

Dude is a machine.

Think I saw somewhere that Chris Harris Jr didn't allow a TD in 2 yrs or something like that. Brown caught 2 on that arse

14 catches, 190 yards per game? He can do it.

But but but he's too short. Everyone has to be 6'3" to play in college and the NFL.

That play likely doesn't happen if Denver has anyone other than a 5th-6th safety on the field.

Seattle basically shut him down, but let every other WR go off instead

16 catches on 18 targets is what impresses the shite out of me.

In a league where most GMs would look a guy over if he isnt at least 6'2, it is pretty darn refreshing to see the 2 best in the game right now be 5'10. Brown and Beckham

He gave up the inside thinking he had safety help, safety looks clueless and slow as frick on that play
