In a recent appearance on Cam Copone News, Brown discussed his comparisons with Ward, naming several reasons why he believes himself to be the superior player.
He has committed to and plans to enter the prestigious Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027 – a goal he firmly believes he will achieve ahead of his Steelers’ counterpart, Ward.
“Obviously I’m gonna go down with the Steelers, I got more stats than Hines Ward and receiving yards,” Brown said. “Yeah, he can’t f*** with me like, he can’t even wear my jock strap. Hines Ward is my stepson.
“He’s a baby wipe, I’m constipated and I’m still s****ing on him,” Brown added. “And I had to deal with more adversity and more criticism. I’m letting you know what a guy got to deal with when he been so great. Hines Ward can’t f*** with me.”
Brown ended his remarkable career in Pittsburgh with notable stats of 837 receptions, 11,207 yards, and 74 touchdowns.
Ward, on the other hand, holds the record of being the top receiver for Steelers with 1,000 receptions, 12,083 yards, and 85 touchdowns.
Brown’s confrontational attitude towards several sports figures has previously stirred controversies. Recently, his comments about J.J. Watt and Caitlin Clark have added fuel to the fire, leading to momentous discussions in sports circles.
Many fans view Hines Ward as an utter encapsulation of the Steelers’ franchise. Ward’s career, lined with impressive records, positions him at the top of the Steelers’ all-time list with his record-breaking stats.
