Le'Veon Bell

I take pride in staying in the game.

Being in my rhythm, I can never tell whether I got 15 carries or 25 carries. It's never really a difference to me. I just go out and play.

It was never a thing that bothered me, being cold or if there's snow. It never fazed me.

I love being a running back. But I really love being a football player.

If I ever see someone from high school I haven't seen since then, the relationship may not be exactly the same today, but I treat it as such. I don't want them to feel I've gotten too big.

I love the game of football.

I love the city of Pittsburgh.

I practice so hard, Sundays are easy.

The irony is, when people now compliment my ability to make something out of nothing on the football field, my mom is the one who's been doing so in real life all along.

Obviously, I want to be a Steeler for my whole life.

I run my routes like a crossover dribble. It's about taking angles, faking one way but going the other, and being savvy. And then, instead of running to the basket, I'm running away from the defender.

When I carry the ball, I don't just take a direct hit. I get out of bounds when I can, get to the ground, try to avoid taking a pounding on my shoulders and legs. If I do that, I think I'll be fine.
