The Steelers' former All-Pro WR returns to Pittsburgh

After losing two weeks in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers were in desperate need of an adjustment. However, the return of disgruntled former All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown wasn't something many fans had in mind.

Brown left Pittsburgh after a dispute with then-quarterback, Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger. AB felt his chance to win a Super Bowl was lost in the Steel City and subsequently requested a trade. His move from the Steelers to the Raiders meant a permanent break from the team and Pittsburgh – until now.

Next weekend I will be returning to Pittsburgh for the first time since leaving the Steelers

I'm happy to be back in black and yellow

His controversial past has made him a polarizing figure, but no one can take away his success on the field or his connection to inevitable first-ballot Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger.

Brown's announcement of his return to Pittsburgh next weekend could coincide with the Steelers' game against the New York Jets in Week 7, but fans can only continue to speculate until more information is released.

AB will take part in a Pittsburgh tradition this weekend with another former disgruntled Steeler, RB Le'Veon Bell, at the “Terrible Tailgate” before the Steelers' Week 6 game in Las Vegas.
