Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell had a great season last year, winning the Fantasy Football Player of the Year and Co-AFC Offensive Player of the Year awards, along with being the team MVP. If Bell didn't have to miss the first two games of the 2015-2016 season, league MVP might not be out of reach for the star running back.
Many people agree that Le'Veon Bell is the best running back in the entire NFL, definitely in the AFC. He has a lot of people to thank for that, including his offensive line for being so reliable and his wide receivers for being such a threat that teams have to plan for them. The Steelers wide receivers open up many opportunities for Bell.
However, Bell would be great on most of the other teams in the NFL. The players around him make him look good, but he also makes those same players look good at the same time. Bell gives his line plenty of time to get their opponents sealed, before he hits the hole with top-level speed. But it's not all speed, as Bell isn't afraid to run someone over or just jump right over them.
Bell worked hard in the offseason, and you can find plenty of videos of his workouts on his Twitter account. His body fat percentage is all the way down to 2.9. If you're looking for his workout videos on Twitter, you're bound to find pictures of his insanely strong core, which he takes pride in.
Even though he will only play in fourteen games at the most, it is very sensible to say that Bell will lead the league in yards from scrimmage. He may not lead the league in rushing yards, but he is one of the best receiving running backs in the NFL, so he will rack up a lot of yards that way. And if Big Ben Roethlisberger drops back to pass and Bell doesn't have a route to run, he will be sure to pick up a blitzing linebacker. Simply put, Le'Veon "Juice" Bell can do it all.
The Steelers' offense could be the best in the entire NFL this year. Chris Simms predicts the team to finish the season 13-13 with a trip to the AFC Championship solely on the offensive potential. Le'Veon Bell has a lot to do with that, and Juice just might put an end to all "best running back" debates.
