In The AFC: Le'Veon Bell Faces Another Suspension

charlotteobserver.com

Pittsburgh Steele's RB, Le'Veon Bell, faces another suspension following a missed drug test. In 2014 he was arrested for DUI and possession of marijuana.  That arrest lead him to a two game suspension in 2015  and subjection to the NFL's substance abuse program.  This program typically tests players more than once per year; according to Ian Rappaport, he missed several test.

I'm sure Steeler's Nation is a bit agitated but Bell is a forced to be reckoned with when on the field. In 2104 he set the single-season team record for yards from scrimmage (2,215), but suspension and a week 8 knee injury held him to just 6 games in the 2015 season.

Acquired by the Steelers in 2015 De'Angelo Williams was left to carry the load while Bell was off the field.  Williams had 11 TDs and 1,274 yards from scrimmage in 16 games played.

Bell suspension is set  to 4 games.  The running back will try appeal his suspension but there is a slim chance he will win this one.

As always, I like to leave  you with a bit of social media sauce but Bell was smart not to post about his mishaps.  Although, his twitter feed is quite entertaining.  Take a look if you haven't already @leveonbell
