Antonio Brown set on becoming the best after DWTS stint

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown's offseason of dance is over. He was eliminated from the semifinals of "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday and will now return to what he does best: catch footballs.

Despite holding the NFL record for most catches in a two-year span with 265, Brown is aiming to further establish himself among the league's elite when the Steelers start OTAs this upcoming Tuesday.

"I always want to be a Steeler for life. We will let those things take its course," Brown told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Wednesday.. "I'm excited to get back on the field. ... My focus right now is to show up and become the best player."

Brown will participate in the show's finale before rejoining his teammates, with the Steelers set with the kind of offensive talent that could make them the league's best unit in 2016.

"This is my last week in L.A. I have the finale, wrap that up, and back for spring ball next," Brown said. "I'm excited to see how we jell together. I'm excited to go toward one goal, see how new guys plug in, create the best team we can create."

Brown routinely destroys defenses with his precise route-running and otherworldly agility, and a scary fact for his future opponents is that the 27-year-old believes his stint on "DWTS" has helped him improve this area of his game.

"(Dance training) can definitely help me with football, change of direction, fluidly, constantly being ready for the next move," Brown said. "Dancing is all about the next move, being prepared for the next move in the midst of any move. It will definitely help with ankle strength, pushing off, change of direction."
