Former Steelers WR Antonio Brown eligible for the HOF in 2027
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver is one of the most polarizing characters in franchise history.
We all know that former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and legend Ben Roethlisberger is eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But meanwhile, another former Steelers from that era is eligible as well, and that is wide receiver, Antonio Brown. Where we think Roethlisberger goes in on the first ballot, the discussion of Brown is far more complicated.
Brown's numbers are a mixed tale. From 2013-2018, there was no better receiver in the league. Still to this day, that six-season stretch is one of the greatest of all time.
But is a six-season stretch of elite play counter his final three seasons and all of the non-football drama he brought upon himself and the league? Here are some numbers for Brown: 928 receptions 12,291 receiving yards 83 receiving touchdowns 4x first-team All-Pro 1x second-team All-Pro 7x Pro Bowl 2x NFL receptions leader 2x NFL receiving yards leader 1x NFL touchdown leader Will Antonio Brown make the HOF ā Steelers Wire (@TheSteelersWire) April 14, 2026 Brown now joins Hines Ward as another former Steelers receiver who is on the HOF ballot. How long will it take voters to put aside all of Brown's antics and give him a fair shot and will he get in before Ward, who has been eligible since 2017?
