4. Work Ethic

Jon Gruden has called Antonio Brown the hardest-working player he has ever been around, and remember, Chucky coached Jerry Rice during his first tenure with the team. That says a lot about AB, who you know is always going to put in the extra work needed.

Quarterback Derek Carr is a guy who loves to put the work in, and those two are probably already scheduling when they are getting together to work on routes. This is a tandem that seemed to really take to each other at the Pro Bowl, and hopefully they can bring some of that magic to the 2019 season and beyond.

Brown has been criticized a lot during his time in Pittsburgh, but nobody can say that he never put in the work. He is going to need to remain that way in Oakland, as the team gave him his guaranteed money, and is going to expect him to get to work as soon as this thing becomes official next week.
