Throughout his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Le’Veon Bell was arguably the best running back in the NFL, and easily the best dual-threat back at the time.
He was a key cog in the Killer B’s offense for the Steelers, which reached new heights during its run in the mid-2010s. Though his time in the NFL fizzled out after a poorly advised contract dispute with the Steelers that saw him sit out the entire 2018 season, his impact on the game is lasting, at least according to one former defensive back.
On the Pat McAfee Show Monday afternoon while discussing the franchise tag option for Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins, the conversation shifted to Bell, and former Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots defensive back Darius Butler spoke highly of Bell.
