Martavis Bryant knows he has to break out of this pattern of self-destructive behavior. And Josh Gordon is the first to admit he can be his own worst enemy.

Marijuana and alcohol offenses have already cost these two hyper-talented NFL receivers dearly. The Steelers’ Bryant will be out the entire 2016 slate (on top of four games a season ago), while Gordon has missed games in four of the past five years, including indefinite suspensions in 2011 at Baylor,during RG3’s Heisman year, and again in 2015 with the Browns. After multiple failed drug tests, both now stand at the mercy of Roger Goodell for reinstatement.
