Le'Veon Bell's departure from Pittsburgh was as tumultuous as it can get. Despite that, Bell sent out a touching tribute to his former quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after his final game at Heinz Field in the Steelers Monday Night Football victory over the Cleveland Browns.
On his Twitter account, Bell thanked Roethlisberger for helping him out early in his career and says he appreciates everything he's done for him.
"I can honestly say, I wouldn’t have made it this far without you 7," Bell wrote. "I appreciate everything, & will miss watching your greatness…one of the very few who’s done it all with ONE TEAM."
Bell spent five years in Pittsburgh with Roethlisberger, starting 62 games and earning four All-Pro teams and three Pro Bowl appearances. During his time in the steel city, Bell, along with Roethlisberger, Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown, were a part of the ‘Killer Bs,' perhaps the most prolific offense in football at the time.
After his time in Pittsburgh, Bell couldn't find the same success on the field, signing with the New York Jets, and after only two seasons in New York, Bell has bounced around the league ever since. The 29-year-old running back is currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"I’m proud to say that I ever had a chance to play with you," Bell wrote. "HOF'er."
