Le'Veon Bell Still Not Giving Up On An NFL Comeback
In a series of Snapchat stories on Friday, Bell laid out his plan.
Le'Veon Bell hasn't taken a snap in the NFL since Week 18 of the 2021 season. But he's not ready to give up yet.
The former star running back has hinted at a comeback many times. And in a series of Snapchat stories on Friday, Bell laid out his plan.
"I won’t start training until like March," he said. "And I’m gonna be honest with myself, I got to go out there and be like, I’m going to put my foot in the ground. Do I feel it? Am I hurting? Can I go out there and really play again?"

The 31 year old said doctors diagnosed him with arthritis when he was just 20 years old. Still, he believes he's in the best shape he's ever been. But if you think he'll come back and play for just anybody, think again.
"And bro, I’m telling you all right now when I go out there and train in March and if I hit April and I make this decision to come back to play in the NFL again, mark my words down — I will be better than I ever was," Bell said. "And I will only come back for that one team. You all know who it is. I don’t have to say no team. You all know who it is."
Let's just go ahead and assume he means the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Leveon Bell Belongs In Pittsburgh
Bell spent five seasons with the Steelers, but he sat out all of 2018 when Pittsburgh slapped the franchise tag on him for the second-straight year. The last time he played in the NFL was in 2021 with the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Since his departure from Pittsburgh, he's admitted he regrets leaving and has apologized to the fanbase.
So maybe Le'Veon Bell is trying to make amends now — with a miraculous comeback in 2024. If that doesn't work out, though, at least he has his OnlyFans.
