Let's get this part of the story out of the way quickly.
Running back Le'Veon Bell is the No. 1 running back in the NFL. Some observers may give the nod to Todd Gurley of the Los Angeles Rams and others may look at Ezekiel Elliott of the Dallas Cowboys, but Bell is a special weapon for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bell is in the middle of what has become a very regular holdout for him. He is not in training camp with the Steelers, and it would not be a surprise if he ends his holdout in the final week before the start of the season when the Steelers go on the road and take on the Cleveland Browns.
