When it comes to his relationship with wide receiver Martavis Bryant, for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the strain has never been as a result of what the young pass-catcher has done on the field, whether inside a stadium or at Chuck Noll Field at St. Vincent College in Latrobe.
The former fourth-round draft pick has always been an impressive and dynamic talent with size, speed, catch radius, and even surprising short-area quickness. An injury and a learning curve kept him on the bench for the first six games of his career, but Roethlisberger made sure he stayed on the field once he caught a touchdown on his first pass.
