Martavis Bryant Gets Second Shot In CFL With Edmonton Elks

Wide receiver Martavis Bryant was one of the most enigmatic players in recent Pittsburgh Steelers history. Not quite a mere flash in the pan, the 2014 fourth-round wide receiver had a strong first two seasons in the league while displaying growth before his career was sidetracked due to suspensions stemming from violations of the league’s personal conduct policy on the use of marijuana, which has since changed.

Bryant served a four-game suspension to start his second season, and then was suspended for the entire 2016 season, and had a tumultuous year upon his return in 2017 before being traded to the Oakland Raiders for a third-round draft pick.
