Le’Veon Bell is closer to 30 than he is 25, but he quickly dismisses talk that he's on the decline because of his age. Bell has a good point of reference in his own running backs room: Frank Gore.

The 28-year-old Bell came into Jets training camp believing that he’s going to have the best year of his career. He's around the age when running backs show wear from all the hits they’ve taken. But Bell doesn’t want to be compared with anyone else.
