New York Jets RB Le’Veon Bell believes he’s the No. 1 back in the league

Say what you want about Le’Veon Bell, but you can’t knock his confidence.

This offseason, Bell signed a new four-year, $52.5 million deal with the New York Jets. The Pro Bowl running back will play this year for the first time since 2017. He missed the final year of his deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a contract dispute.

Speaking with Bryant McFadden of CBS Sports HQ this week, Bell portrayed his confidence regarding his on-field talents.

“I mean, everybody’s going to have an opinion on what type of back they want [but] I believe every [general manager] in this league considers me a top-three running back in the league.
