Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown is all about spectacle. Whether it’s catching a pass, scoring a touchdown or merely arriving at training camp, Brown tends to make a show out of everything. For example, he showed up to training camp last year in the back seat of a 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom. But this year, however, he has outdone himself.

Antonio Brown decided to show to Steelers’ training camp on Wednesday in a helicopter. If you don’t believe us, take a look at the video below.

Despite the fact that some may think this is too much, Brown has deserved to be a bit outrageous. He is one of the most consistent wide receivers in NFL in the past several years and has led the league in receiving yards in 2014 and 2017 and catches in 2014 and 2015. Brown also had more than 1,284 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in each of his last five seasons. This is also why Steelers decided to pay him $17 million per year, which makes him the highest non-quarterback paid offensive player in the league.

Although he didn’t get a helicopter, Steelers’ linebacker Vince Williams also made an eye-catching arrival to the team’s training facilities. Take a look below.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ players look to be in a good mood, which will hopefully lead to a successful season.

Pittsburgh Steelers are confident that the best football is still ahead of linebacker Bud Dupree, deciding to pick up the fifth-year option on his contract, which will see the 25-year-old stay with the time throughout the 2019 season. Steelers notified Dupree about their decision on Monday and confirmed it via their official Twitter account. His fifth-year option carries $9.232 million hit on the salary cap. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the deal is guaranteed for injury.

Bud Dupree signed a four-year rookie contract worth $11.22 million in 2015 after the Steelers took him with the 22nd overall pick. In the past three years, the player didn’t meet the expectations, since he often struggled with injuries. He managed 14.5 sacks combined in the previous three years, but never managed to get 6.0 or more in a single season. Dupree also had 90 total tackles and one forced fumble during his time in professional football.

Despite ups and downs in Dupree’s progress as a player, the Steelers are convinced that he has tremendous potential.

“I think Bud is just scratching the surface on what he can be,” – said Steelers’ general manager Kevin Colbert recently. “Playing another season with T.J. [Watt] and T.J. playing with Bud, I think those two will help each other grow as this thing continues to unfold.“

ESPN reports that after he cleared his waivers on Monday, former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison signed with the New England Patriots. The 39-year-old visited the Patriots facilities on Tuesday, where he signed a one year deal. The team released LB Trevor Reilly in order to create a roster spot on the team. Harrison previously posted a picture of himself alongside the Patriots 40-year-old QB Tom Brady on Instagram, writing “Finally… A teammate that’s older than me!“

James Harrison is the Pittsburgh Steelers all-time leader in sacks with 80.5, but the franchise released him on Saturday, gaining a roster spot for tackle Marcus Gilbert, who returned from suspension. Harrison already played a smaller role with the Steelers in the last three seasons, but that didn’t stop him from posting at least five sacks in each of them. This season, giving more opportunities to Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt, the Steelers reduced Harrison to only 40 snaps in 14 games. In the last season, he participated in 587 snaps.

James Harrison went undrafted in 2002 NFL Draft, and spend a short time with the Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and Rhein Fire, before returning to the Steelers in 2004. He stayed with the team until 2013, when he joined Cincinnati Bengals. Only a year after, he returned to the Steelers for the third time. Besides 82.5 career sacks, Harrison’s NFL stats include 788 tackles, 33 forced fumbles, one interception and one defensive touchdown. He won two Super Bowls during his career, alongside being five times Pro Bowler and getting the NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2008.

The New England Patriots have struggled with the outside linebacker position for the better part of the 2017 season, using numerous players to fill in the role. Harrison might just be the right man to serve as a short-term for their problems.
