Le’Veon Bell has been conspicuous in his absence from Steelers OTAs this week. Turns out he may have a pretty good excuse.
The running back, with a novelty check dated Wednesday, donated $750,000 to Groveport Madison High School in Ohio, his alma mater, to fund installation of a new turf field at the football stadium there.

The school, obviously, is pretty stoked, WCMH-Columbus reports.
