Le'Veon Bell may not have attended New York Jets organized team activities, but he seems ready to go for mandatory minicamp, and on Monday, he was wearing the Jets uniform for the first time since signing with the club back in March:

Bell inked a four-year, $52 million deal with New York at the start of free agency, ending what was a tumultuous six-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 27-year-old did not play at all this past season as a result of a contract dispute, and in 2017, he held out of training camp and did not return until Week 2 of the regular season for the same reason.

The last time we saw Bell on the field in 2017, he racked up 1,291 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging four yards per carry en route to a Pro Bowl appearance and a First-Team All-Pro selection. In addition, he hauled in 85 receptions for 655 yards and a couple of scores.

Bell, who played his collegiate football at Michigan State, was originally selected by the Steelers in the second round (48th pick overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft.

After a quiet rookie campaign, Bell broke out in his second season, rushing for 1,361 yards and eight scores while recording 4.7 yards per attempt. He also caught 83 passes for 854 yards while reaching the end zone three times, making his first Pro Bowl while notching First-Team All-Pro honors.

Overall, Bell landed three Pro Bowl selections during his time with Pittsburgh.

Meanwhile, the Jets won just four games in 2018 and have not made the playoffs since the 2010-11 campaign.
