For more from the 2016 Body Issue, check out espn.com/bodyissue! And pick up a copy on newsstands starting July 8.Antonio Brown is not an easy man to track down -- on the field or off it. Between Dancing With the Stars rehearsals, offseason workouts and more FaceTiming and Snapchatting than you can imagine, the four-time Pro Bowler sat down with ESPNs Morty Ain on the set of the Body Issue to discuss his training regimen, his candy habit and the beauty of mango season.ON CHANGING THE PERCEPTION OF SMALL RECEIVERS Being passed up by teams because of my size made me hungry. Ive seen a lot of first-round guys who come in and never really do nothing because they may not appreciate the opportunity because everything has been given to them. I think guys who come from the bottom understand how hard it is, so they appreciate the opportunities more.I dont think of myself as a small receiver, but you cant control what somebody says about you. It hasnt held me back -- actually, I think Ive changed the perception of smaller receivers. My being able to do what I do at my size, being able to create opportunities for other guys ... I used to play with Bruce Arians [in Pittsburgh, when he was offensive coordinator], who is now head coach for Arizona, and he went on to draft T.Y. Hilton in the third round [as the Colts OC]. He drafted John Brown, who starts for the Cardinals, in the third round. So I think guys like myself have been able to create opportunities for these guys who may be my size.ON HIS BODY EVOLUTION (AND MANGO SEASON) I was real skinny in high school. I was real fast and explosive. I just didnt really have a good nutrition plan, I didnt understand how important it was to be healthy. I was eating hot fries, potato chips in the morning, Capri Sun. That was like my breakfast. That changed when I got to college -- I put on 20 pounds of muscle. Now I like everything about my body. My calves are developing and getting strong -- its definitely mango season. Mangoes have a nice, strong shape when theyre growing on the trees around this time, when they start plumping -- just like my calves. Also, Ive got a lot of kids, so my sperm count is good.ON SURVIVING TRAINING CAMP When I was a rookie in training camp, Id have two-a-days and I was like, Damn, Im about to die. I came up with a quote: The first day of training camp, I thought I was going to die. The second day, I was afraid because I didnt die. And the third day it was like I couldnt die. Life is a fight. Youve got good and evil forces constantly battling each other, and if you want to set out to do something positive, theres going to be distractions, theres going to be adversity, theres going to be some things that are going to hit you in life, and youve got to fight the good fight in regards to staying true to your goals and staying on that path of what you want.ON HOW DANCING WITH THE STARS WILL HELP HIM ON THE FIELD Ive been doing a lot of dancing, and each dance has its own footwork that can be compared to football. The karaoke movement can be used with lateral movement; the quick step is great when taking off on the line. Dancing helps with the changing of directions, transferring of weight with your shock absorbers, which makes your ankles a lot stronger. As a dancer, youve got to be able to point your feet and bend your knees and push through your knees. Ill maybe add a couple dances for some extra cardio or for stretching or feet strengthening.ON HIS SLEEP SCHEDULE During the season, sleep is definitely important, which is why I got a nice spot closer to the facility so I can get more rest. With training and working out, you need to get more sleep and recovery so your muscles can do what you want them to do. During the season, I try to get the most sleep that I can get. But in the offseason, I only get four or five hours -- its hard to sleep when youre having a lot of fun.ON TAKING CARE OF HIS BODY Nutrition is important, training is important -- but so are rest and recovery, massages, acupuncture. Your body is your temple, and youve got to take care of it. In the NFL, youve got to lift weights. With guys hitting you and all the falling on the ground, youve got to have the muscles to protect the shoulders when youre hitting the ground. But I also do Pilates to work on the deeper core and to stretch. I lift weights in the offseason about four times a week; during the season Ill lift three times a week. The weight training is key because most guys come in during the summertime as strong as they are going to get and they fizzle down as the year starts. Im 7 percent body fat -- thats all right for right now, but by the time we get to training camp, it should be about 5 percent. I always try to maintain what I bring in, so Ill hire a trainer to make sure that I lift and do the appropriate workouts the whole year.ON HIS STARBURST HABIT At the end of every year, I always get a blood test to see whats on the inside of my body. Youve got to see what you put into your body, not just care about the outside of your body -- make sure you get in all the supplements and all the protein and all the carbs and the low cholesterol. Last year I was able to see that I could have more durability in my muscles if I would take some more amino acids and do some stuff that would help with recovery. It also told me to stay away from the Starbursts -- I was eating too much candy last year.ON HIS WORKOUT REGIMEN I like to work out my legs after a game because that speeds up the recovery process and the blood flow. I hit them the next day, not right after. Postgame on Monday will be a big leg day, and Ill make Thursday my single leg day. But Monday is definitely a big legs day because you get the day off and it gives your legs a chance to recover for a long week of practice. Ill do squats, single leg lunges. It just gives you that fresh blood after a hard-fought game.I also do a lot of swimming during the year. I try to swim once or twice a week. I basically hold my breath for like 12 laps, down and back, to kind of expand my lungs so that I can have better breathing when it comes down to two-minute drives where youve got to play a lot of plays all in one series and youre hurrying up. I want to know that I have the right oxygen that I can be able to maintain.ON WHAT DROVE HIM TO SUCCEED Even though I was drafted late [sixth round in 2010], Ive just been way hungrier than these guys. Im smarter and I just outworked them. Theres this Muhammad Ali quote: Champions arent made in gyms. They are made from something they have deep inside themselves. Im striving to be the best player I can be. Not just physically, but mentally, spiritually and to give it all I got. If you want to be the best, you cant take the path of least resistance. Every morning you wake up and your mind tells you its too early, and your body tells you youre a little too sore, but youve got to look deep within yourself and know what you want and what youre striving for.Under Armour Shoes Cheap .

You guys have a much better perspective of that than I do here. I think its an exciting matchup of local-like teams and universities.Its also a matchup of vastly contrasting styles.UConn (2-1) is a methodical team that runs about 66 plays a game and puts up an average of 330 yards of offense. It wants to win games by controlling field position and time of possession. It is built, Diaco said, to keep games close. The Huskies three games this season have been decided by a total of 10 points.Syracuse (1-2), under first-year-coach Dino Babers, runs the fastest-paced offense in college football, with an average of 93 snaps and 505 yards offense. They ran a school-record 105 plays a week ago.Its like defending two games, Diaco said.The Orange, who will be playing their first road game this season, are trying to bounce back from back-to-back double-digit losses Louisville (62-28) and South Florida (45-20).As we grow together, well get better and better at it, said Babers.Here are some other things to watch for as UConn hosts Syracuse:DOG TIREDDiaco said hes concerned that Syracuses hurry-up tempo could be dangerous if he is unable to get fatigued defenders off the field. He said there is nothing he can do tactically to slow down the pace of the game and would never coach a player to fake an injury just to stop play. But he said exhaustion is a real possibility if his team is unable to substitute. Miikal Myers, UConns 325-pound defensive tackle, said he and his teammates feel they are physically ready for the challenge.dddddddddddd Strength and conditioning coach Matt Balis kills us all summer, so hopefully in translates to the game on Saturday, he said.RECEIVERSThe game features two of the nations top wide receivers.

He leads the Atlantic Coast Conference and ranks third nationally in receiving yards per game (145.3), and his 9.3 receptions per game are tied for fourth in the Football Bowl Subdivision. UConns Noel Thomas has 26 catches (seventh nationally) for 277 yards. No other Husky receiver has more than seven catches.BABERS-QUARTERBACK SUCCESSSyracuse quarterback Eric Dungey is has already thrown for 960 yards this season. Hes hoping to follow in the footsteps of other signal callers who have done well in Babers high-octane offense. One of those guys is Jimmy Garoppolo. The New England Patriots quarterback played under Babers at Eastern Illinois, where he threw for 8,873 yards and 84 touchdowns over two seasons.GOING FOR ITSyracuse has attempted to convert nine fourth downs already this season and has been successful five times. The Orange have punted the ball 19 times. UConn is 3 for 3 in fourth-down conversion attempts.SERIESUConn has won six of the nine meetings between the programs, which all occurred between 2004 and 2012, when both were members of the Big East. The Orange beat the Huskies 40-10 in their last game, which was played at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse has never beaten the Huskies in Connecticut. ' ' '
