DALLAS -- He cringes when people say he came from nowhere to Super Bowl XLV. Sure, Antonio Brown came from somewhere. A place he calls home that some would call horror.He comes from being ignored at different football stops to this circus stage where he has been swarmed.
He wears No. 84, this Pittsburgh Steelers rookie receiver, small in size but huge in stride. His game is a blink, a blur. His first NFL touch was a game-opening, reverse kickoff, 89-yard touchdown at the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. He outran at least three Titans down the sideline -- each with an angled shot; each unable to collar him.
First touch -- to the house.
That will earn you the nickname "Cash Money,'' like his Steelers teammates call him. He makes things look so easy, they say. He is a rookie now, but this 22-year-old player will be "paid'' one day, they claim.
Cash Money.
