Former All-Pro Steelers RB upset with the Steelers lack of playmakers

Former Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell speaks out on why Pittsburgh has struggled for two consecutive weeks and blames the lack of playmakers.

After starting off the season 3-0, the Steelers have faced rainy days and dark clouds looming over them for two consecutive weeks.

While fans, players, coaches, and even analysts play the blame game as to why their season has taken such a drastic turn, a familiar face from Pittsburgh’s past seems to have his own opinion on why the Steelers have lost two straight.

Three-time All-Pro, three-time Pro Bowler, and former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell believes that the ‘Steel City’ needs one more playmaker.

This analysis from the once-great running back is right on the money, but it leaves more questions than answers. How do the Steelers add this playmaker to the roster—free agency, a trade, or perhaps the two-time healthy inactive Roman Wilson?

Bell was a pivotal member of one of the most terrifying offensive trios in NFL history, ‘the Killer B’s’. He is bound to know a thing or two about what it takes to elevate an offense and create opportunities for success.

‘Being an All-Star many years’: Cason Wallace sets career goals

“I want to be a household name in the league.”

The Oklahoma City Thunder added a lottery talent to their young core this past draft. After trading up, the Thunder selected Cason Wallace with the No. 10 pick in the 2023 NBA draft.

The selection gives the Thunder another solid wing who can defend and shoot. Most draft experts expect him to pan out as a high-end starter, but Wallace has higher aspirations.

In an interview with “Playmaker,” Wallace set his career goals as he prepares to start his rookie campaign.

“Being an All-Star many years, defensive player of the year a few times, national championship,” Wallace said. “I want a ‘MyCareer’ career — if that makes sense. I want to be a household name in the league.”

The 19-year-old looks to outperform his pre-draft evaluations, and the Thunder provide the perfect environment to maximize the odds of that happening.

Wallace might be limited in his first year due to the Thunder’s abundance of talent, but that shouldn’t stop him from believing he can’t eventually meet his expectations.
