Martavis Bryant emerged as a core player for Pittsburgh's offense after returning from a four-game suspension for multiple failed NFL drug tests. He posted 765 yards with seven touchdowns in 11 regular-season games, followed by 267 playoff yards rushing and receiving in two games. Steelers quarterbacks targeted Bryant more than eight times per game.
The Steelers are hoping for a quiet offseason from Bryant, whose suspension dropped abruptly before the season opener in New England. The team wants Bryant to remain clean and productive.
For the start of the offseason, Bryant is spending time in Los Angeles. He's working with a trainer out there, according to his mother, Roberta. He'll spend part of the offseason in California while also returning to Pittsburgh and his home state of South Carolina at times.
Bryant is also talking with noted counselor John Lucas via phone once a week, Roberta said. Bryant worked with Lucas in Houston during his suspension. Lucas is a former NBA player who overcame addiction, and now he helps athletes with their problems.
When speaking with Steelers.com late last month, Bryant called the start of his 2015 season "rocky," but said he believed he matured throughout the year.
