They Tweeted It … Antonio Brown

#DWTS @Skittles inspired dancing shoes. Thanks Skittles! #tonytoetap #catchtherainbow pic.twitter.com/NNuWExgnAo

— Antonio Brown (@AntonioBrown84) March 17, 2016

 

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown will be trading in his cleats for Dancing With the Stars soon and that’s perhaps what prompted this tweet on Thursday.

Or maybe he’s just taking over the Skittles beat from the retired Marshawn Lynch?

Sorta legit collecting question: What might something like this sell for at auction if “show-used”?

The company teased his 2015 Panini Contenders Rookie Ticket on Sunday. That set is scheduled to arrive on Dec. 30, while it appears he’s among the players in 2015 Panini Crown Royale arriving this week.

Of course J.J. Watt’s upcoming Funko has a bloody nose …

The newest wave of Pop! Football figures arrives in December from Funko with one of the NFL’s biggest defensive stars sporting one of the littlest iconic details.
