Fewest scrimmage yards since 2013

Bell touted himself as a dual-threat running back throughout his year-long hiatus in 2018. His 1,259 yards from scrimmage were his fewest in a season he played at least 12 games since his rookie year when he finished with 1,250 scrimmage yards.

In his three best seasons in Pittsburgh, Bell averaged over 2,000 scrimmage yards and was a staple of the Steelers offense. Bell missed 10 games of the 2015 season with suspensions and injuries, but still averaged more yards from scrimmage per game (115.3) than he did in 2019 (83.9). The Jets didn’t feature Bell nearly as much as they should have, and their roster didn’t give him the best chances to flex is ability.
