The Steelers have picked WR Antonio Brown with the 195th overall pick of the NFL Draft (6th round).  Brown is 5’11″, 185 pounds but he’s fast running a 4.5 40.  Brown is good with the football in his hands where he is at his best.  But he doesn’t help out when he isn’t getting the ball as he is not very interested in blocking.  Brown played in 14 games (12 starts) at Central Michigan last season and he caught 110 passes for 1,198 yards (10.9 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  He played in 41 games (30 starts) in his three years with the Chippewas in which he caught 305 passes for 3,199 yards (10.5 avg) with 22 TD grabs.  Despite his great college numbers it very questionable as to how Brown will handle a big step up in competition.  Even if Brown doesn’t help the Steelers at WR he is a very capable punt and kickoff returner.
