“The production cannot be disputed. Because he is a dislikeable figure, I am aware that no one wants to see him admitted,” Carpenter remarked.
Normally, Brown’s antics both on and off the field toward the conclusion of his career and afterward do not check the stand-up character box on an application for the Hall of Fame.
Brown’s production history, nevertheless, is as excellent as it comes.
In addition to being a four-time All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowler, Brown won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and was selected to the Hall of Fame All-2010s Team.
One may argue that Brown was the best wide receiver in the NFL from 2013 to 2018, given he never had a season with fewer than 1,280 receiving yards and 100 receptions.
Brown led the NFL in receptions (129) and receiving yards (1,698) in 2014. He would again lead the league in receptions in 2015 with 136. Then, in addition to his 1,297 yards, Brown recorded a league-high 15 receiving touchdowns in 2018.
