Le’Veon Bell showed up at Jets minicamp Tuesday with unmistakable star power, and fully cognizant that the magnitude of his star will be blinding in the New York market. And he will not squint for one second.
For those who might have forgotten, before his self-imposed contract exile from the Steelers last season, that he was arguably the best back in the NFL, Bell vows: “People will be reminded.”
He gets a fresh start with the Jets now, a clean slate, a chance to be the kind of leader he never could be in Ben Roethlisberger’s huddle, the singular weapon who can help Sam Darnold take that glorious second-year leap.
