Former All-Pro for the Steelers Seeking a Return to the NFL

Former All-Pro for the Steelers Seeking a Return to the NFL

Le’Veon Bell, the former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been rather busy since he last appeared on an NFL field over two years ago.

Bell made an appearance as a milkshake on The Masked Singer in 2022, when she sang “Jump On It” and “What Is Love.”

Bell started his profession in that same year. In the sixth round of an exhibition match, he defeated Adrian Peterson, another All-Pro running back.

He faced former UFC middleweight Uriah Hall a month later, but was defeated unanimously.

He defeated YouTuber JMX in a unanimous decision in 2023.

Bell still seems to be itching to play football, despite everything that has happened.

Former All-Pro for the Steelers Seeking a Return to the NFL

On February 3, Bell posted a statement on his Instagram story expressing his desire to rejoin the NFL, with hints that he would like to do so with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

According to Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot, Bell stated, “I won’t start training until like March.” And I have to be honest with myself—I have to step out there and declare that I’m going to make a move.

Going Back to the Steelers
Bell was one of the top running backs in the NFL while he was a member of the Steelers. He spent five seasons with the organization and was selected three times as an All-Pro, including once to the First organization.

His rookie season and the season he was limited to just six games due to an ACL tear were the two seasons he failed to earn a spot on the All-Pro team.

Sadly, Pittsburgh’s story didn’t end all that happily.

For the second straight year, Bell was assigned the franchise tag by the Steelers during the 2018 offseason.

Bell did not play in the 2018 season as he pursued a long-term deal. Nevertheless, an agreement could not be reached by the two parties. The following season, he signed with the Jets after leaving.

He wants to return now even though the Steelers don’t really need a running back.

Bell could be able to get the preseason playing time he has consistently mentioned. That being said, it is quite unlikely that he will suit up for the Steelers in a regular season contest.
