Le'Veon Bell believes his patient approach to playing running back will change the NFL similar to how Stephen Curry changed the way basketball is played in the NBA.
"I think I'm changing the game," the Pittsburgh Steelers running back told Bleacher Report. "In that sense, I'm what Steph Curry is to basketball. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think Steph Curry is the best basketball player, but he changed the game so he's going to always go down as being remembered. Now, everyone wants to shoot the 3 and shoot it from deep." Bell sets Steelers rushing record for playoff game Pittsburgh RB Le'Veon Bell torched the Miami Dolphins for 167 yards on 29 carries Sunday, breaking the Steelers' single-game postseason rushing record previously held by Franco Harris. Bell has a patient running style that requires his offensive linemen to hold their blocks before he attacks a hole, usually for a big gain. He said he expects young running backs to try to copy his style. He recently described that style to ESPN's Jerome Bettis, telling the former Steelers great that he looks off linebackers to bait them into the gap he doesn't want to hit before cutting back. "I watch the linebacker ... but I'm not going to look at him. I don't even want him to know I see him," Bell said. |
