The NY Jets‘ biggest story of the 2019 season was the free-agent signing of running back Le’Veon Bell.
The Pittsburgh Steelers star via Michigan State — the 48th overall pick in the 2013 Draft — sat out 2018 in a contract dispute. Questions arose if whether the three-time All-Pro’s season off would hurt his play or if it saved his hammered body.
In each of five seasons in black-and gold, Bell averaged over 1,000 rushing yards. In green-and-white this year, he never had a 100-yard game — his best game 21 carries for 87 yards in a Thursday night embarrassment to Lamar Jackson‘s Baltimore Ravens.
