All this talk about former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell this week has us thinking a lot about his legacy with this team. For a few seasons, Bell was making a great case for himself to be considered the best all-around running back in the NFL.
But now, Bell is talking about retiring a Steeler despite how poorly things ended with the team. Assuming this happens, where do you rank Bell among the greatest Steelers running backs of all time.
Bell finished his five-year run with Pittsburgh with 5,336 rushing yards, 2,660 receiving yards and 42 total touchdowns. It was always Bell’s dual-threat abilities that made him so dangerous. Bell topped 75 catches in three of five seasons and in two of those he caught more than 80 passes.
Who else is in the mix to be considered the best? The names that always come to mind are Franco Harris and Jerome Bettis. Both are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after Stellar careers.
Cast your vote and let us know if you consider Bell the best of all time despite his short career or do you give more credit to the longevity of guys like Harris or Bettis?
