Antonio Brown Calls Out Julio Jones, Steve Nelson Responds

Antonio Brown isn't attacking the Pittsburgh Steelers on social media this time, but a current member of the team is putting his two cents in.

PITTSBURGH -- Antonio Brown was reminiscing through his Steelers jerseys, cleats and memorabilia on instagram live on Sunday when he decided to let the world know he's better than one of the NFL's top receivers. 

With piles of jerseys and cleats - and some classic arcade games - scattered throughout a room, Brown told Atlanta Falcons' wide receiver Julio Jones to "look up the stats".

"I got more touchdowns than Julio Jones in the last five years and I took a year off." 

First, he's not wrong. Brown does have 47 touchdowns over the last five seasons, compared to Jones' 31. Jones, however, has AB beat in yards with 7,795 to Brown's 6,004. 

The commentary didn't end there. Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson jumped in on the debate, casting his vote for Jones as the league's top wideout. 

Julio best WR in my book 💯

No one's too sure why this entire thing started, but AB now seems to have a target that isn't Steelers related. Maybe it's not so much Jones but the top receivers in the league. 

Brown definitely misses NFL life, he's admitted it in the past. Jones continues to be categorized with names like Odell Beckham Jr., DeAndre Hopkins and the rest of the top level receivers in the NFL. AB was one right there with that group, and being out of the league, maybe he's just trying to remind everyone that he could still be up there. 

Or, maybe he's just back on his social media rants.
