The great thing about Snapchat is your fans can get a detailed experience of what your life is like behind the scenes.
— Antonio Brown
I'm a Steeler for life.
People are brainwashed into believing that Italy is the seat of luxury manufacturing. If it's made in Italy, it must be good. That's just hype. Quality is where you bring it.
I got a strong spirit that I rely on and go into. It allows me to prepare and drive forward.
It's the NFL. It's hard to score touchdowns.
I don't think of myself as a small receiver, but you can't control what somebody says about you. It hasn't held me back - actually, I think I've changed the perception of smaller receivers.
We do a lot of great things, but it's a competitive league. A lot of great guys around us do the work and help us elevate our game, and that's what makes the NFL so special. We have a lot of competitive players who are the best in the world at what they do, and they all compete against each other.
I'm passionate about the game. Anytime you work as hard and a play doesn't go the way you wanted, you get frustrated.
Nutrition is important, training is important - but so are rest and recovery, massages, acupuncture. Your body is your temple, and you've got to take care of it.
It's not about me. It's about the Steelers.
I always modeled my game after the guys from Miami. Chad Ochocinco, Santana Moss, Andre Johnson. I used to love Roscoe Parrish as a returner.
The NFL does a great job of taking care of the players.
It's so hard in the NFL, man. You spend the course of a long week preparing for one opportunity. And once you get that opportunity and you get in that moment, it's just an amazing feeling. It's something you should celebrate about, something you should be excited about.
I found out there is a production paradise in Brazil. I was able to make my second collection for less money but without sacrificing quality. More importantly, manufacturing in Brazil also fits in with my global initiative: to provide work and empowerment in a third-world country.
At the onset, I decided to name my brand LVL XIII - which means Level 13. The number 13 identified within the name and concept of the brand references throughout history that every creation begins at the level of thought and idea.
I started playing full-equipment football when I was 6 years old. My mom actually got me started in it.
At the end of every year, I always get a blood test to see what's on the inside of my body. You've got to see what you put into your body, not just care about the outside of your body - make sure you get in all the supplements and all the protein and all the carbs and the low cholesterol.
Being passed up by teams because of my size made me hungry. I've seen a lot of first-round guys who come in and never really do nothing because they may not appreciate the opportunity because everything has been given to them. I think guys who come from the bottom understand how hard it is, so they appreciate the opportunities more.
I think things will work out for the greater good for not only me but the city of Pittsburgh. I'm extremely grateful to get out in the community of Pittsburgh and not only play the game but affect other people and kids in that regard, and I'm excited about the whole process of that.
I lift weights in the offseason about four times a week; during the season, I'll lift three times a week. The weight training is key because most guys come in during the summertime as strong as they are going to get, and they fizzle down as the year starts.
If you want to be the best, you can't take the path of least resistance. Every morning, you wake up, and your mind tells you it's too early, and your body tells you you're a little too sore, but you've got to look deep within yourself and know what you want and what you're striving for.
Karma is karma. Karma is in life. You do the wrong things, you get the wrong things out of it.
You've just got to train hard. Conditioning is key, recovery is key. As hard as you work, recovery is just as important. All the soft-tissue work daily, all the things that keep me clean. And you've always got to be aware of what you're eating, what you're putting inside your body. That's key as well.
The journey is never ending. There's always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.
My goal is always to get better every day. No one will ever outwork me. That's how it will always be for me. That will never change.
I want to bring more manufacturing jobs to America. For starters, I want to be behind the initative to build a manufacturing facility in Atlanta.
When everyone turned away, the only person I could turn to was God within myself, and that is what I continue to rely on.
I knew as a kid that every decision I was going to be making, I would have full responsibility. So I knew I had to do what's right and protect myself, you know?
I was real skinny in high school. I was real fast and explosive. I just didn't really have a good nutrition plan; I didn't understand how important it was to be healthy. I was eating hot fries, potato chips in the morning, Capri Sun. That was like my breakfast. That changed when I got to college - I put on 20 pounds of muscle.
Blue is the color of peace. Water is blue. I like the color blue because it just puts me at peace. The patriotic symbol is blue. I just like blue.
I'm a good guy with a good heart, and I have good intentions.
I try to swim once or twice a week. I basically hold my breath for, like, 12 laps, down and back, to kind of expand my lungs so that I can have better breathing when it comes down to two-minute drives where you've got to play a lot of plays all in one series and you're hurrying up.
I know everything I do is going to be magnified.
Yeah, I've always been a big Chunky Soup guy. I'm digging all the new Chunky Maxx flavors, which are packed with protein. Specifically, the black angus beef.
I am filled with so much sincerity and gratitude to know where I came from and what I'm doing now.
