Le’Veon Bell: 5 Potential NFL teams that could sign running back
2. Tennessee Titans
The Tennessee Titans have arguably the best running back in the NFL in Derrick Henry but not much else after that at the position. Third-year back Jeremy McNichols is the current backup but he is so green that he has set career highs in yards this year with just 35 in four games. Behind him is rookie Darrynton Evans who is currently nursing a hamstring injury.
Henry is the unquestioned lead back but they had a good thing going last year with Dion Lewis as the third-down back but he is now with the New York Giants. The last thing the Titans want to do is take the ball out of Derrick Henry’s hands and give carries to a lesser back but they could utilize Le’Veon Bell in a number of creative ways that would keep both of them on the field.
Bell has plenty of experience in the slot and, given the injuries the Titans have at receiver, he could share some of the load there as well.
The former Jet would be an incredible upgrade for the Titans over anyone else they have behind Derrick Henry and could give them a dangerous thunder and lightning combo at the position.
