NFL Testing Le'Veon Bell at Conclusion of Terrible Season is a Complete Joke

There hasn't been much to smile about for Le'Veon Bell and the New York Jets this season, but the former Steelers running back managed to get a kick out of the NFL's rabid desire to make sure he isn't playing on any illicit substances.

Bell is struggling in a career-worst season, but that hasn't stopped the NFL from testing Le'Veon for HGH before their season finale against the Buffalo Bills.

The man hasn't topped 100 yards in a game this year, and now you decide to test him?

Bell hasn't even cracked 800 yards this season, and is putting up a career-low 3.3 yards per carry, as Adam Gase has reached his fourth year as a head coach in the NFL without determining how to properly use a running back.

Bell might be in the middle of the worst year of his career in the league's worst offense, in terms of yards per game, but he's been a consummate professional and team leader, even while he's on a team that is spinning its tires on offense.

Hopefully GM Joe Douglas either improves the offensive line or has the intestinal fortitude to make a coaching change if he wants to truly unlock the potential of Bell in New York. If not, expect a similar 2020, replete with a Week 17 courtesy drug test.
