Fantasy Football: 2015 First Round Mock Draft

USA Today

6. Antonio Brown, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Brown broke out of his shell last season and showed the world just how good he really is. While many were unsure of how effective the Steelers’ passing game would be without Emmanuel Sanders, Brown silenced them in a career year.

He caught 129 passes for 1,698 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was the top receiver in the league, and for that, is the first one off the board in this mock draft. Ben Roethlisberger loves to throw to Brown and Brown’s crafty footwork and speed is overpowering to opposing cornerbacks. The Steelers have an ample amount of young receivers with plenty of talent including Martavis Bryant, Markus Wheaton and Auburn rookie Sammie Coates.

These three will help take the extra coverage off Brown, which will free him up down the field. Brown is a stud and you should feel confident selecting him before any other receiver in the draft.
