Former Steeler Antonio Brown Thanks QB Ben Roethlisberger For NFL Success After Reaching Milestone Of 900 Career Catches

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

TAMPA, Fl./PITTSBURGH, Pa. (KDKA) -- Antonio Brown reached a new milestone recently.

He is the fastest NFL wide receiver to get 900 career catches.

The former Steeler addressed the feat at a press conference and credited Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

"That's something that I'm really grateful for, but I couldn't do it by myself. I've been able to play with some great quarterbacks--Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady--some places where I've played with guys like that [I'm] able to get the ball out and be on that trajectory."

Brown re-signed a one year deal with his current team, the Buccaneers, back in May, so he will continue working alongside quarterback Tom Brady.
