Le’Veon Bell

To say Le’Veon Bell endured a rough 2020 season would be an understatement. His first year with the Jets was one of the worst of his career as a rusher and he did not contribute as much as he would have liked in the passing game.

Bell was dealt somewhat of a rough draw upon arriving in the Big Apple. New York’s offensive line play was putrid a year ago and he did not have many holes to run through. It’s a lot to ask of any running back to break off big gains if he is running into a wall of defenders every single play — even one of Bell’s caliber.

There won’t be any more excuses for Bell this upcoming season, though. Joe Douglas dedicated the offseason to revamping the offensive line and the Jets now have a unit that profiles as a competent one. Now that he’ll have some blocking, New York needs Bell to perform like the All-Pro that he once was.
