Martavis Bryant uses social media to criticize Steelers teammate

The post-game drama with wide receiver Martavis Bryant has continued for a second week.

Following the team’s defeat of the Bengals, Bryant went after teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster on Instagram, saying he was a better player.

Bryant was tagged in a comment to a post by Fantasy Football Counselor about Ben Roethlisberger not targeting him.

A user named team.votto said Smith-Schuster was better, and Bryant took offense to that writing, “JuJu is no where near better than me, fool. All they need to do is give me what I want and ya’all can have Juju and whoever else.”

Chase Williams talked to JuJu Smith-Schuster today about the social media comments. His response on Channel 11 News at 5 p.m.

TRENDING NOW:

If you look at the statistics from the game, Smith-Schuster had 39 yards and a touchdown. Bryant caught one pass for three yards.

Bryant later deleted that comment and added a longer one:

After last week’s defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs, there was a rumor that Bryant requested a trade. He later denied that report.

Bryant was suspended all of last season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
