Allow me to enlighten you on a few things:
1) First of all, there was a defender within 5 yards of him - that's why he took a break from his kiss blowing party to kick it in the final 30 yards.
2) Second, Jimmy Farris actually was running a lot faster than Antonio Brown and I will prove it:
2a) Farris runs a 4.37 40 yard dash, and Brown supposedly runs it in 4.18 (not bad!). HOWEVER, consider that if you calculate in the air friction gradient of Brown's arm/hand extending and retracting with each kiss and factor in the diminished lung capacity due to air kisses and whatever he was shouting at the time (I imagine he was saying something like "How you like them apples now, beeatches!?" or "Hee, hee, hee, hee (schoolgirl giggle)").
Simple thermodynamical calculus can be utilized to determine that:
4.18 (starting speed) + 20x0.05x0.183 (estimated 20 air kisses times wind resistance) + 5x0.0129 (estimated 5 schoolgirl giggles) =
4.43 seconds, which is actually slower than Farris' kiss-free time of 4.37.
There you go.
I usually agree w/ Matty - but pre-touchdown celebrations are not cool. We've all seen too many go awry.
