With reinforcements added on the offensive line, Le’Veon Bell will surely be utilized more in the Jets’ passing game this season.

One of the better pass-catching backs in the league, Bell received just 78 targets from Jets quarterbacks during his first year in green and white. New York was unable to fully unleash Bell in the team’s passing attack as he was needed more in pass protection because of Gang Green’s porous offensive line.

In 2019, Bell caught 66 passes for 461 yards with his lone touchdown coming in Week 1. Out to prove that last season was an anomaly, New York has a motivated Bell on its hands. It’s up to Adam Gase to put Bell in the best position to succeed in 2020, but all signs point to Bell thriving in his second year playing with Darnold.
