Electric electric electric, need I remind you of that spin move?

Braxton has already done his part to become a blip on the Steelers radar when he said he emulates Antonio Brown.

“AB, Antonio Brown, he’s the guy (I emulate),” Miller said. “He’s got athleticism and explosion. He can play inside and outside, so he brings both to the table.”

He’s since followed that up becoming the most talked about participant at the Senior Bowl not named Carson Wentz, and is racing up draft boards across the NFL. According to Eleven Warriors the Steelers join the Patriots and Chiefs in terms of interest and he makes perfect sense in the second round.

Obviously the play in the first round is suring up the defense even more but to get a difference maker like Braxton in the second would be a homerun.

 

Sure people may scoff at the idea of spending another draft pick on a wide receiver but when the quarterback has to convince your number two to grow up he might not be a number two.  After the debacle this year at punt returner I’m sure we could all agree that while he was electric, having Antonio Brown return punts was terrifying.

Braxton did a little bit of everything his senior season at The Ohio State and while he’s made it known he can play both inside receiver and out, he can also be a presence in the running game.  With leg injuries hampering LeVeon Bell the last two seasons, Braxton could serve as a security blanket for their running game that ultimately lead to the demise the last two years. This season ended when fellow Buckeye Bradley Roby knocked the ball out of the Michigan Man, Fitzgerald Toussaint’s hands.

And to think, just before that fumble I was prepared to name a breakfast sandwich after Fitzy Croissant.

Do the deal Pittsburgh.

While we’re on the topic of Buckeyes in the Burgh, lets go ahead and turn to Gus Johnson for the Steelers heir apparent to Ben’s throne.

Who better to learn from than the guy they compared him to on his way to the National Championship last season.  Cam Newton is showing critics who say you can only succeed with some cerebral quarterback who yucks it up with reporters ala Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck.  If you’re saying its this easy to essentially extend Big Ben’s career another 10 years with a guy they call 12 Gauge I’m on board every single time.
