Le'Veon Bell Rumors: Jets RB 'Highly Motivated' to Prove 2019 Was Aberration

After holding out the entire 2018 season for a new contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back Le'Veon Bell did little to cement himself as one of the league's top rushers in 2019.

The New York Jets signed Bell to a four-year, $52.5 million deal the following spring—the highest cap hit for a running back in the NFL—and in return Bell finished with the 24th-most yards in the league (789) and just three touchdowns.

As the 2020 season nears, the pressure is on both Bell and the Jets to show the down year was nothing more than a fluke.
