Antonio Brown has high hopes for Steelers WR DK Metcalf

Regardless of how fans feel about him, Antonio Brown is one of the greatest NFL wide receivers of his generation — and he has very high hopes for Pittsburgh Steelers wideout DK Metcalf.

Courtesy of footage provided by Brendan Howe on X, Brown told viewers on TikTok Live that Metcalf is due for a big year with the Steelers in 2026.

"I think DK Metcalf will come back this year motivated, hungry. You know what I'm saying?" Brown said. "I think it'd be dope."

Ex-#Steelers WR Antonio Brown believes DK Metcalf is primed for a better season than his first in Pittsburgh:

At one point in his Steelers career, Brown was believed to be a guaranteed lock as a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but the abrupt end to his NFL career and his off-the-field issues may have hurt his chances in 2027.

Still, Brown knows talent when he sees it, and Steelers fans should be excited about what Metcalf can do in this new-look offense in 2026.
