Bell has now played 13 games this season, which matches his total for 2013, which was marred by an Ankle injury he suffered in preseason that caused him to miss the first 4 games.
Here are his Rookie Stats from 2013:
Rushing
13 Games 244 Carries 18.8 Carries Per Game 860 Yards 3.5 Yards Per Carry 66.2 Yards Per Game 8 Touchdowns Longest Run - 43 Yards 1st Downs - 48 Rushes of 20+ Yards - 4 Rushes of 40+ Yards - 1 Fumbles - 1
Receiving
13 Games 45 Receptions 399 Yards 8.9 Yards Per Catch 30.7 Yards Per Game 0 Touchdowns Longest Catch - 43 Yards 1st Downs - 13 Catches of 20+ Yards - 5 Catches of 40+ Yards - 1 Fumbles - 0
Sophomore Stats from 2014:
Rushing
13 Games 242 Carries 18.6 Carries Per Game 1,231 Yards 5.1 Yards Per Carry 94.7 Yards Per Game 5 Touchdowns Longest Run - 81 Yards 1st Downs - 61 Runs of 20+ Yards - 8 Runs of 40+ Yards - 2 Fumbles - 0
Receiving
13 Games 71 receptions 693 Yards 9.8 Yards Per Catch 53.3 Yards Per Game 3 Touchdowns Longest Catch - 48 Yards 1st Downs - 35 Catches of 20+ Yards - 7 Catches of 40+ Yards - 2 Fumbles - 0
Based on stats alone, it is incredible how much Le'Veon Bell has improved from one year. He has had almost identical carries, but his YPC has jumped up significantly from a meager 3.5 to an elite 5.1. Bell's improvement is for real. Of course, some credit goes to the addition of Maurkice Pouncey that he didn't have his rookie year, and the improvement of David DeCastro and Kelvin Beachum, but Bell has turned into an elite NFL RB at only 22 years old. You can call me pandering, but you cannot deny how good he has become. It is scary to think what he might be in his prime a few years from now.

Rookie Year: Steelers fans and dyansty players loved him.
Sophomore year: All fantasy owners love him and Steelers fans have anointed him the messiah, mostly to distract from the fact that they may still miss the playoffs.
