Despite his enormous potential, the professional path that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has led can only be described as a tumultuous one. He has on numerous occasions jeopardized his future as a contributor in the NFL through poor decision-making and has threatened to alienate himself from his teammates.
When Bryant was indefinitely suspended last year, he put himself into a bit of an isolation. He didn’t respond to the messages of his quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, when he attempted to reach out. Roethlisberger has had to call him out publicly multiple times for both on- and off-field issues, and after that incident he talked about his disappointment in his promising young receiver for having lied to him and others.
