Le'Veon Bell

Le'Veon Andrew Bell Sr. (born February 18, 1992) is an American professional boxer and former football running back. He played college football for the Michigan State Spartans and was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft. Bell also played for the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After rushing for 860 yards in his rookie season, Bell broke out in his second season with the Steelers, totaling over 2,200 combined yards and making the Pro Bowl. Bell missed several games in the 2015 and 2016 seasons due to drug-related suspensions and injuries, but still put up solid numbers and was voted to the NFL Top 100 both times. In 2017, he had a league-high 321 carries for 1,291 yards, as well as 85 receptions for 655 yards, and made the third Pro Bowl of his career. The following season, Bell refused to sign the franchise tag placed upon him by the Steelers, resulting in him sitting out the entire 2018 season. Bell signed with the Jets the following off-season, but never regained his former level of success, and following less than two seasons, Bell was released by the Jets. He then signed with the Chiefs, where he finished the 2020 season. Bell spent his last NFL season in 2021 with the Ravens and Buccaneers before pursuing a career in professional boxing in 2022.
