New York Jets RB Bilal Powell is more than just a ‘fan-favorite’

The eight-year veteran has seen his fair share of ups and downs throughout his career. That has almost made Bilal Powell even more relatable to the common fan because nothing has ever come easy.

Powell was drafted in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft and will hit 30 years of age midway through the 2018 season. Despite being a talented running back with tons of versatility, more times than not he has found himself watching the game from the bench more so than playing it. Although that’s no fault of his own. The New York Jets have just seemingly underused him throughout his entire career.
