5 most important Pittsburgh Steelers skill players of the past decade

2. Martavis Bryant (2014-2017)

Record: 27-9

Win percentage: 75.0%

This selection may seem a bit unusual, but take a minute to hear my reasoning. Though his tenure with the Steelers lasted just three partial seasons, Martavis Byrant showcased just how rare of a talent he was.

Much like Mike Wallace, Martavis had the ability to gain strides on defenders down the field and torch them deep. However, he was an even more complete player than Wallace. Bryant had a massive 6’4” frame for a deep threat, but he was also a receiver that could take a simple slant for a 60-yard touchdown or be used in fade routes in the red zone.

Though his win percentage is going off a small sample size, winning 75 percent of his games over three seasons is still thoroughly impressive. What’s even more convincing is that Pittsburgh’s offense has never been better than when Martavis Bryant was on the field.

While Bryant was hardly the only notable skill player on the Steelers during his time, he certainly impressed with his ability to win at multiple levels on the field.
