3. Le’Veon Bell

Nobody needs to explain just how much of a threat Le’Veon Bell has proven to be over the years as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and even though there’s been some frustration over his contract situation, let’s hope it doesn’t impact his production in 2018. Whether it’s the extra time he takes to look for open holes or his ability to turn a short pass into a long gain, the fact that Bell can be used in multiple ways on offense is part of what makes him such a headache for opposing defenses.

On paper, Pittsburgh’s offense is always considered one of the best in the NFL, and assuming Bell doesn’t miss any time away from the football field due to a holdout, there’s every reason to believe this will be the case once again next season. After failing to earn a trip to the AFC Championship last January, there’s nothing the Steelers would love more than a shot at redemption since the team felt confident enough in their chances of potentially taking down the New England Patriots to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

In an offense already consisting of Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, it’s almost unfair to see Pittsburgh have a top running back in Bell as well. Based off his last couple of seasons with the Steelers, Bell should have little trouble having another big season at running back.
