Before playing, the former nfl star used to light up.
Bell dazzled on the field of football when his almost stop-go, methodical running style took over the league, making him one of the best running backs in the nfl and perhaps history.
Bell fell short of his goals in the nfl, and in the process began his career in the league.
Bell’s biggest challenges during his nfl career was his constant obsession with marijuana and the league’s substance abuse policies.
Bell admitted that he would in fact smoke weed prior to his team’s game during his sit down with the guys at steel here.
“I feel like I got a misconception about me with the whole weed thing,” Bell said on the Steel Here podcast. “I was wrong just cuz I shouldn’t have smoked in the car, regardless. But looking back at this, that’s what I did. When I was playing football, I smoked, bro. Even before the games I would smoke. I’d go out there and run for 150 [yards] and two [touchdowns].”Â
Bell was suspended two games to begin the 2015 season when he was arrested for driving under the influence and marijuana possession in an incident in 2014. Bell also missed multiple drug tests in his career, leading to league action.
Even with everything that he caused himself, it seems as if the marijuana actually had a positive impact on Bell’s game – allowing him to slow the game down and materialize what was happening in front of him to show off his elite vision and playmaking ability.
The NFL’s policy surrounding marijuana has since changed a bit since the height of the Le’Veon Bell era. What once used to be drug tests throughout the season have now just become one during the season and another prior to the start of training camp. The disciplinary actions have also been cut from lengthy suspensions to just facing a fine from the league.Before playing, the former nfl star used to light up.
