Martavis Bryant was recently reinstated after a year-long suspension for multiple violations of the NFL's drug policy, but he might be subject to another round of "random" testing after a tweet he shared during the NFL draft.

After the Steelers selected wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the second round of the draft, prompting some fans to suggest Bryant's job is in jeopardy, Bryant posted this:

Sammie Coates is Bryant's teammate, so it's more than a little unusual for Bryant to throw him under the bus like this.

For his part, Coates seemed to take the tweet in stride:

Head coach Mike Tomlin immediately caught wind of the situation, taking to Twitter in an attempt to squash the situation.

This prompted another response from Coates:

Many of the tweets have since been deleted, but there could be some tense moments in the Steelers' wide receivers room this spring.
