It’s interesting to wonder about how the Pittsburgh Steelers offense might have looked today—or over the past few years—had they had Martavis Bryant, the player, at the peak of his game, throughout that time. An extremely gifted athlete, he exploded onto the scene in 2014 as a rookie fourth-round pick, following it up with a strong second year, before he was hit with a year-long suspension in 2016.
He returned to the Steelers in 2017, but was unable to perform at the same level, and was ultimately surpassed by JuJu Smith-Schuster, which would help prompt the team to trade him to the Oakland Raiders for a third-round pick on draft day of 2018.
