Antonio Brown continues to vent his anger and frustration out on NFL legends despite having been out of the league for years. The former wide receiver’s latest victim is Hines Ward, a legendary wideout for the Pittsburgh Steelers. This time, he went on to make a case for why he was the greatest receiver in the team’s history.

In an appearance on Cam Capone News, Antonio Brown admitted that he believes that Hines Ward is not as good of a wideout as he was while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He put it across in the most crude and ‘AB manner’ possible.

Obviously I'm gonna go down with the Steelers, I got more stats than Hines Ward and receiving yards. Yeah, he can't f*** with me like, he can't even wear my jock strap. Hines Ward is my stepson. He's a baby wipe, I'm constipated and I'm still sh***ing on him, And I had to deal with more adversity and more criticism. I'm letting you know what a guy got to deal with when he been so great. Hines Ward can't f*** with me.

It was surprising to see Brown go on a rant against Ward as the legendary wideout never initiated beef with him.

While Brown claims himself to be the greatest Steeler of all time, the numbers say otherwise. Hines Ward has recorded 1,000 all-time receptions for 12,083 yards, and 85 touchdowns. Antonio Brown on the other hand caught 837 passes, 11,207 yards, and 74 touchdowns. He came really close to breaking Ward’s records and was right on track to surpass him but then the CTE kicked in.

AB did not stop there, he went one step further and predicted that he would make it into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2027, before Hines Ward. That seems to be a bold claim because there is no guarantee that the Hall of Fame committee would consider Brown to be worthy of being amongst the best of the best.

His behavioral issues off the football field have resulted in his achievements as an athlete being overshadowed. It is not new for Brown to lash out at legends of the game, he takes a jibe at prominent names in the sports world to get his name back in the media circles. He has taken a shot at J.J. Watt, accusing him of steroid use, WNBA player Caitlin Clark, and Ben Roethlisberger.
