“Looking back on this, that’s what I did,” Bell said. “When I was playing football, I smoked, bro. Even before the games, I’d smoke and I’d go out there and run for 150, two (touchdowns).” 

Le’Veon Bell was drafted by the Steelers in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played for 5 years in Pittsburgh while registering 7996 scrimmage yards and 42 total touchdowns. He left the Steelers in 2018 after a contract dispute with the front office and joined the New York Jets the following season.
