Martavis Bryant is getting another shot at an NFL comeback.
Bryant has signed with the Washington Commanders, the team announced on Tuesday. Head coach Dan Quinn said Bryant’s “real size” and “catch radius” are two reasons the team was impressed with the veteran wide receiver.
A fourth-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014, Bryant’s once-promising career was derailed by multiple violations of the NFL’s drug policy. He was reinstated last year and signed with an NFC team late in the season, but the opportunity did not last long.
Bryant was an effective receiver for the Steelers for three seasons and has amassed 145 catches, 2,183 yards and 17 touchdowns in his NFL career. His best year came in 2015 when he caught 50 passes for 765 yards and 6 touchdowns over just 11 games.
