Adam Gase either didn’t know how to use Le’Veon Bell in his first season working with the star running back or simply opted to make the 26-year-old a complementary piece since he never really wanted him in the first place.

Bell failed to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career, rushing for 789 yards and a dismal 3.2 yards per carry. He did haul in 66 passes for 461 yards and a touchdown, but his lack of production on the ground set New York’s offense back. Bilal Powell chipped in 229 rushing yards in a secondary role, while Ty Montgomery added 103 yards on the ground.

All in all, it wasn’t too great of a year for New York’s rushing attack. Then again, it’s not exactly easy to produce behind an offensive line littered with backups and underperforming players.
