To say former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell had a unique running style would be putting it mildly. Bell was tall for an NFL running back, checking in at 6-1 at the 2013 NFL Combine (while also weighing in at 230 pounds before reaching 244 pounds in the NFL). Yet Bell did not compensate for his height by keeping his pad level low.
Instead, Bell ran straight up. That stuck out to his teammates, including former Steelers S Ryan Clark. Bell made quite the impression on the veteran safety even at rookie minicamp.
“He was in my head my rookie year, bro,” Bell said on Tuesday’s episode of the CTESPN Podcast with former teammate Antonio Brown.
