Le’Veon Bell was supposed to be the game-changing player that the Jets have craved for years, but it didn’t work out that way.

Bell had the worst season of his career, only rushing for 789 yards, averaging 3.2 yards per carry and running for three total touchdowns. He wasn’t utilized in the passing game, picking up only 461 receiving yards. It wasn’t all of Bell’s fault because of the offensive line he was working with. The offensive line was unable to create many holes for Bell this season. Despite that, it didn’t look like Bell had the same burst we were accustomed to seeing in Pittsburgh.

Even with the down season, Bell was a pro’s pro in the locker room. He always did what he was asked to do and never complained once about his role in the offense.
