Clemson in NFL: Martavis Bryant trashes teammate on Instagram and wants a trade, reports say

The situation for former Clemson football star Martavis Bryant has declined rapidly in Pittsburgh, where the receiver has declined from a solid No. 2 option alongside Antonio Brown to a minimal part of the Steelers’ offense.

And now, Bryant, Clemson’s record-holder for longest yards per catch average, wants out of Pittsburgh, according to reports from ESPN, and he doesn’t seem to care too much about maintaining good relationships along the way, criticizing rookie teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster on Instagram after this Sunday’s game, in which Bryant was targeted just twice.

Fellow Clemson alum and receiver Adam Humphries also struggled Sunday, putting up a season low in receiving yards and fumbling a catch on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ final possession, allowing the Buffalo Bills to march down the field and kick a game-winning field goal.

San Francisco 49ers punter and former Tiger Bradley Pinion has been busy this season, coming on the field 36 times through seven games, tied for sixth most in the league. However, he has made the most of those opportunities — his punts have been downed inside the 20-yard line 17 times, tied for best in the NFL, and returners have called for 13 fair catches off his punts, third best in football.
