5 greatest Pittsburgh Steelers running backs of all time

Le’Veon Bell

Bell was a whole new skill set when he arrived in Pittsburgh so much so that the entire league noticed. His patient running style allowed him to burst through late opening holes created by the offensive line. Bell also created the perfect all-around back as he became a threat is not only the run game but the passing game as well. He put up amazing numbers while being a Steeler and playing with one of the franchises most elite scoring offenses in franchise history.

The former second-round pick out of Michigan State was a huge factor for the Steeler’s offensive success and he was able to show the NFL his talents over the years while donning the black and yellow. Bell played for the Steelers from 2013 till 2017 when he then decided to sit out an entire season before leaving for the New York Jets. Bell might not be entirely in the fan’s favor when it comes to the current time but Bell’s numbers and talents cannot be denied.

With the Steelers, Bell was able to run all the way to number four on the Steelers all-time rushing yards list and that was done in just four seasons with the team. Bell also added numbers like 5,336 rushing yards, 35 rushing touchdowns, 2,660 receiving yards, seven receiving touchdowns, two First-team All-pro selections, and three pro bowl nominations.
