I’m certainly not going to be one to ever dismiss the skills and abilities that running back Le’Veon Bell brings to the field for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and perhaps will again whenever he actually makes the decision to show up this year. But it is interesting that one area in which the team has not really been missing the All-Pro is in the passing game.
Through the first two games of the regular season—and thus the first two starts of his career—second-year running back James Conner has contributed 10 receptions, on 11 targets, for 105 yards.
