2) Le'Veon's NFL accolades include 2 Pro Bowl selections and 2 All-Pro selections and during his college career at Michigan State, he was First Team All-American and won a Big Ten Championship.
3) Bell's nickname "Juice" comes from his head coach Mike Tomlin which refers to the fact that he never runs out of battery and has a tough workout regimen.
D: What can I do to get as strong as you? I like push ups.
Le'veon Bell: You like push ups? You are on the right page then. Keep on doing push ups.
D's Follow Up: I need to keep doing push ups to keep getting stronger. He kind of makes we want to keep doing them. I like Le'veon Bell because he's fast and strong.
J: Did you ever get caught playing tag on the playground?
Le'veon Bell: Caught playing tag? Yeah, I've gotten caught before. Yeah, I've definitely been caught before.
J's Follow Up: I'm surprised he got caught because he's the fastest on the field and barely gets touched. I don't think I would have caught him when he was my age.
We love watching Le'Veon Bell on Sundays when he's playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Le'Veon has a unique running style. He stays patient, waits for his blockers, and then bursts through the hole for large gains on the ground that often lead to multiple trips to the end zone. Jordan and Danny got to spend a few minutes with the Pro Bowl running back and had the opportunity to ask him their questions a few weeks ago at the Fanatics Convention.
Danny continues to be enamored with athletes and learning how to workout like them. He took the opportunity to tell Bell he likes push ups and wanted to know what else he should be doing to get strong like him. Push ups are an easy choice for Danny because they require no equipment and he can stop what he's doing at any time to do a few. Le'Veon tells Danny he's on the right page and I couldn't agree more. The perfect whole body workout for anyone at any age. These boys are influenced by their favorite players so I see more push ups in Danny's future.
Jordan's question went back to Le'Veon's childhood as he wondered if he was ever caught when he played tag. When we watch Bell on Sundays we noticed how elusive he is and how difficult it is to wrap him up for a tackle. Combine that with his speed and we think he would have been nearly impossible to catch as a kid. As a PE teacher, there is always that one kid nobody can catch and we assume Le'Veon was that guy.
What a cool experience for us to go 3 on 3 with one of the top players in the NFL Le'Veon Bell!
