Will Le’Veon Bell live up to the hype for the Jets?

Le’Veon Bell is a game-changing, perennial all-star type of running back and will surpass any hype. Many people worry that Bell not playing for an entire year and focusing on other activities other than football impacted the pro-bowler negatively. Le’Veon being out for a year is dangerous for opposing defenses.

Bell will be coming back with fresh legs and a fresh mindset, and some fresh new colors. According to Pro Football Reference, while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 Bell had a total touch count of 402. Bell needed some time to recuperate after adding such a hefty workload to his body that previously came off a 336 total touch season.
