Ron Cook: Martavis Bryant still hasn't matured much

Martavis Bryant has a chance to be a terrific NFL wide receiver. Maybe not on the level of Antonio Brown and Julio Jones, but a top-10 receiver. He’s big. He’s tall. He’s fast. He has great hands. His touchdown catch in a wild-card playoff game at Cincinnati after the 2015 season as he tumbled out of the back of the end zone is one of the greatest receptions in Steelers postseason history. “He has no idea how good he can be,” Ben Roethlisberger has said often of Bryant. There is no questioning Bryant’s wondrous athletic ability.

Sadly, Bryant’s maturity level is a much different matter.
