Le'Veon Bell Tells Jets 'Don't Hold Back' in RB's First Game Since 2017
Jets running back Le'Veon Bell has a key message for New York's coaches before taking the field for the first time since 2017 on Sunday: "don't hold back."
The two-time All-Pro sat out the entire 2018 season as he awaited a new contract from the Steelers before entering free agency. Bell signed a four-year, $52.5 million deal with the Jets in March.
"I can carry it 50 [times], if you ask me to," Bell said at the Jets' facility in Florham Park N.J. "I'm ready. When I said, 'don't hold back,' I mean, literally, that. I don't want to go out here and try to sprinkle me in, things like that. I'm ready to play football and I've been waiting a long time for this moment."
