Eight NFL players who will shine again in 2017

Redemption. Overcoming your personal demons to become a better person. It’s a story that has been written and re-written throughout the history of mankind. Some are able to pull through and move on with their lives. Others fall to the struggles that impacted them in the first place. But at every turn, it is human nature to hope for the best in others.

The same can be said for Bryant, who has not suited up since January of 2016 after being suspended by the NFL for violating its substance abuse policy. With reinstatement seemingly imminent, Bryant has one last opportunity to prove to the Steelers that he’s worth the headache.

A dynamic pass catcher, the 25-year-old Bryant recorded 50 receptions for 765 yards and six touchdowns in a suspension-shortened 2015 campaign. With Markus Wheaton now in Chicago and the Steelers looking to fill that void, a motivated (and sober) Bryant could very well be that guy.

Look for big things as Bryant rises from his personal demons to make amends on the gridiron this upcoming season.
