Antonio Brown has been taking the NFL by storm, however, if the highlights aren't obvious enough, here's some reasoning as to why he's the hottest receiver in the game.

1. 6th round draft pick to 5-time Pro Bowl selection

AB wasn’t drafted until the 6th round of the 2010 NFL draft by Pittsburgh, the 195th pick overall. He was the 22nd receiver to be picked out of a total of 27. The Central Michigan underdog was shadowed by standouts Demaryius Thomas, drafted by Denver, and Dez Bryant, drafted by Dallas. Brown has since represented the Steelers in 5 Pro Bowls: 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.

2. Record-breaking stats

Brown is currently ranked 48th on the list of NFL Career Leaders in Receiving Yards with 9,886 yards. He is currently leading the NFL this season in receptions (99), yards (1,509), and receiving yards per game (116.1).

AB flexes to his fans after making an incredible play at a home game.

3. "Boomin'" plays

They call him “Tony Toe Tap” for a reason. Antonio Brown always has his “business boomin’” on the field. He’s had quite a few memorable plays over the years, but there’s one that still gives me goosebumps. Brown had an incredible reach over the goal line in the 2016 Christmas Day matchup against long-time rival Baltimore Ravens. The reach secured the Steelers’ 31-27 win with just nine seconds left and also allowed the Steelers to clinch the AFC North Division for the 22nd time.

The iconic reach that saved the day December 25, 2016, at Heinz Field vs the Baltimore Ravens.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
