Le’Veon Bell wants to give his fans an opportunity to be more “intimate” with him like never before.
The former NFL all-pro running back, who was once one of the top running backs in the league, has joined OF. Many folks only know the website for catering to x-rad content, but that was never the intent when it was first started.
“I decided to do OF as a platform for the simple fact to get more intimate with my fans. There’s times where – people know I make music, people know I box, play football, so I use that platform for times to get intimate with my fans,” Bell told Fox News Digital.
Bell has been on a path of doing different things since his NFL career came to an end.
“When I’m boxing, people want to see how I look when I spar, or how did I cut so much weight in a week or two, or what I’m eating during the week of the fight, whatever it may be. That’s my chance to really get intimate with my fans and show them exactly what I’m doing, exactly how I’m going about my week or my day or how I train or how I record in the studio and give that opportunity for my fans more intimately,” he added.
In his first five seasons with the Steelers, Bell racked up 7,996 scrimmage yards with 42 touchdowns in 62 games. He averaged nearly 1,600 scrimmage yards per season. Pittsburgh wanted him back as they offered him a five-year deal worth $70 million, a deal that would’ve made him one of the highest-paid NFL players.
Bell declined the offer and after receiving the franchise tag for the second consecutive year, the two sides never bridged the gap and he sat out the entire 2018 NFL season. His career never really recovered.
