I have no idea what he'll be, but he certainly has shown the ability to move a pile (he rarely loses yards), he has shown the ability to operate in space, playing behind a patched up offensive line and he has 40+ catches as a rookie. I'm not sure what more you would like to see from the kid and I'm not sure what running back has had a bigger impact on his team's offense than Bell.
If he stays healthy, the Steelers offense will continue to get better, in case you haven't noticed the offense is putting up a lot of points over the past 4 or 5 weeks (27, 20, 28, 30 and 3
. You should win 4 of those games and certainly have a chance in the 5th.
Bell wasn't a 1st round selection, the Steelers took him in the 2nd and I agree about the first round RB 100%, I'm not even sure I'd take AP in the 1st, if there was a top player at another position that I could draft. That being said, Bell looks like the real deal to me and if you like Lacy, then you have to like Bell, because they were both impressive yesterday.
