Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver, Antonio Brown, has been planning his touchdown celebrations all offseason.
One of the most outgoing players in sports, Antonio Brown, has been dreaming of an NFL where he can dance and dance and dance since he entered the league. When NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, relaxed the rules on players celebrating, it was like Christmas morning for the Steelers wideout.
So far, Brown hasn’t broken out any crazy dance moves in the preseason. A few shuffle steps here and there, but nothing serious for a player who’s talked all summer about how excited he is to celebrate his touchdowns.
This is a good thing.
Antonio Brown has already hit milestones throughout his career. Owning the record for most receptions in a four-year span may not be 50 receiving touchdowns in a season, but it’s still something no one the NFL has ever seen has done before.
This season is going to be different.
Antonio Brown has never been more excited to score touchdowns. He already has a list of celebrations and is taking more from fans on social media. How many he actually has planned may be more than he has revealed, but if his expectations are this high than Pittsburgh should expect A LOT of TDs coming from No. 84.
On top of his excitement to dance, he has more weapons around him than ever before. With Martavis Bryant, Eli Rogers, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Vance McDonald, Le’Veon Bell, James Conner, and Justin Hunter, defenses will have to stick one player on AB. One.
Brown is already breaking records with double and triple coverage. Imagine how unstoppable he’ll be when he just has to beat the man five yards in front of him? And he’ll be thinking about whether or not he’s going to tango or jump on the goalpost.
Everyone is expecting him to explode because of all the receivers opposing teams have to deal with when they plan Pittsburgh. No one is taking into consideration his motivation to dance, though.
Antonio Brown is in for a record year. But not for the reasons most believe. Once he gets a taste of celebrating with no limits, his thirsty to score will be higher than ever.

Sorry, NFL, but Antonio Brown is just getting started at 29-years-old. Because once he knows what it’s like to let loose in the endzone, he’ll never want to leave again.
