While Le’Veon Bell is not on the cover of EA Sports’ Madden 21, he did make an appearance in the game’s trailer.
In the 1minute, 30-second video released by EA Sports on Tuesday, Bell is shown at about the 16-second mark. In his brief appearance, Bell puts a nasty juke move on a Buffalo Bills defender.
Put ‘em on skates with @LeVeonBell.

The Jets are going to want to see a lot of that from Bell in 2020. He wasn’t able to get in second gear enough last season, mainly because of the offensive line in front of him. However, it did look like Bell might have lost a step after sitting out all of 2018.
In Bell’s first season in New York, he recorded 789 rushing yards on 245 rushing attempts. Bell added 461 receiving yards as well to go along with four total touchdowns.
With a lighter workload and not as much pressure on his legs in 2020, the hope is that Bell can return to his Steelers form when he was one of the league’s top running backs.
