Le’Veon Bell is seriously considering a return to the NFL after a three-year layoff and there is only one team he will considers playing for.
Many fans and pundits will say the Jets, but it looks like he wants to restart his career in Pittsburgh.
“I won’t start training until like March,” Bell told SI.com. “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? 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.
“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.”
The Steelers drafted him in the second round if the 2013 draft and he wants to repay their faith in him.
Bell turns 32 later this month and was cut from the Jets, despite signing a four-year $52 million contract.
He was cut in 2020 and finished the year with short stints at the Chiefs before donning the colors of the Ravens and Buccaneers the following year.
His return may be laced in fairy dust though, as he is at an age running backs retire while the last time he played decent football was six years ago.
