So I had a very cool experience happen today on social media that Id like to share. I've always been a big Antonio Brown fan and my dad is a die hard Steelers fan. Antonio Brown has always been one of our favorite players for obvious reasons. When he was drafted as a 6th rounder I was 16, I randomly sent out a tweet predicting he'd be one of the best WR's in the draft based on his pre-season (lol) totals he was racking up and ended up making a friendly bet with my friend he'd be better than numerous other WR's in the draft such as Dez Bryant, Jordan Shipley, etc. Antonio Brown favorited the tweet and ended up following me on twitter, which is cool because he doesn't follow that many people, especially considering his follower count (over a million).
Usually me and my dad go to at least one Steelers game every year, we couldn't go this year due to him being diagnosed with a rare disease known as bells palsy (
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...s/syc-20370028), which is a partial face paralysis and all around extremely uncomfortable and annoying disease, which led to him not being sure if he'd be able to travel and etc, which obviously he was pretty disappointed about. With Christmas coming up, and trying to think of a gift for my dad, I randomly saw Antonio Brown tweet something and remembered he followed me. I usually don't do things like this, but decided to DM him and see if he could help out with a possible gift, and long story short, AB decided to hook me up with an autograph photo and "more" for my father. What's even cooler is I told him me and my dad were at the game against the Raiders a few years ago where he had the best game of his career (17 catches 284 yards) so the photo he is signing and sending us is from that game where is making an over the shoulder catch, so that has even more personal value since we literally were at the game live during that moment.
I'm not sure what the "more" is as he wasn't very specific but needless to say I am even bigger Antonio Brown fan than before.
