Martavis Bryant Suspended For 2016

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has been suspended without pay for a minimum of one year for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.

Brian Fettner, one of Bryant's agents, told USA Today that Bryant had missed multiple drug tests after serving a four-game suspension at the start of last year.

“We’re all stunned, me included,” Fettner said. "We clearly miscalculated the issue. His isn’t a party issue. It’s a coping issue and a depression issue, and he’s got to take care of it.”

Bryant was 55th in DYAR and 54th in DVOA last season.
