4. Martavis Bryant Trolls Steelers Fans and Sammie Coates.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver was definitely “woke” during the NFL Draft. After he saw his team draft wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster (USC Trojans), he took to Twitter to tweet some things that have since been deleted.

“lol that’s Sammie Coates replacement not min(e) take it how you want to I am back.” – Bryant said in the since deleted tweet. And Coates actually responded to the now deleted tweet.

Soon enough, head coach Mike Tomlin stepped in, telling his players to play nice. But as Sammie Coates said “There’s no nice playing in football, coach.”

After that Bryant showed us how actions can speak a lot louder than words. In a private workout, he proceeds to run a 4.27 in the 40-yard dash.

Now, without reading too much into it, this could just be harmless banter between teammates. Bryant was suspended for the 2016 season after failing multiple drug tests. He was conditionally reinstated by the NFL on April 25.
