Former Clemson wide receiver Martavis Bryant plans to work out this off-season in Los Angeles, ESPN’s Pittsburgh Steelers blogger Jeremy Fowler reports.

Fowler, who spoke with Bryant’s mother Roberta earlier this week, says Bryant is working with a trainer in Los Angeles, where he will spend part of his off-season. He will also return to Pittsburgh at times and back home to Anderson where he played high school football at nearby T.L. Hanna.

As part of his off-season workouts, Bryant will also speak once a week with former NBA Player, now counselor, John Lucas. The renowned addiction counselor worked with Bryant following the wide receiver’s four-game suspension to start the 2015 season due to substance abuse. Lucas himself overcame substance abuse and is now helping athletes who are going through the same struggles he once went through.

In 2015, Bryant recorded 50 receptions—third on the team—for 765 yards and seven touchdowns while playing in 11-regular season games for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also added 267 all-purpose yards in the Steelers’ two playoff games. According to Fowler, Bryant was targeted at least eight times a game by Pittsburgh quarterbacks.

Bryant’s second season in the NFL was not all good. He had to serve his four-game suspension and then missed Game 5 with a minor knee injury. But the former Tiger felt he had matured as the season went along, especially after being called out by one of his teammates.

Though he played in the Steelers’ last 13 games, Bryant was told he needed to toughen up by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger following a Week 16 loss to the hated Baltimore Ravens.

At that point, Bryant had not scored in four straight games. He bounced back in the playoffs with a 44-yard run and five catches for 29 yards, including a circus-like catch for a touchdown in a Wild-Card win over Cincinnati. The next week in the AFC Divisional Playoffs, against eventual Super Bowl Champion Denver, Bryant tallied two rushes for 40 yards and caught nine passes for 154 yards, including one for 52 yards.

Roethlisberger is one of the few people who can call out Bryant because the Steelers’ quarterback stayed in touch with him during his suspension and was always there to offer encouraging words.

“Everybody got used to me scoring touchdowns every game, and when I went through a span that I didn’t score like three or four weeks straight, everybody was like, ‘What is going on?’” Bryant said to Steelers.com. “You can’t score every game. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to help the team out, so I would say I learned how to keep myself motivated and just stay consistent.”
