“#Jets\u2019 Le\u2019Veon Bell soaking up Frank Gore\u2019s ageless wisdom<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Adrian Peterson is 35, and they still call him All Day. Curtis Martin made history when he led the NFL in rushing at 31.<\/p>\n

Age 30 doesn\u2019t have to be a death sentence for NFL running backs, and there is no better time than now for Le\u2019Veon Bell to start turning back the clock, and there is no better running back to help guide the quest to stay forever young than Frank Gore.<\/p>\n

Bell came to the Jets as an accomplished star, and in case there are naysayers who believe that he has begun to fall off that running-back cliff following the worst season (3.2-yard average) of his career, he showed up at Jets training camp at a chiseled 210 pounds.<\/p>\n

And as much as he can\u2019t wait to follow Man Mountain Mekhi Becton through open holes that were difficult enough to find last season, he is smart enough to recognize that there are 15,347 reasons to follow Frank Gore.<\/p>\n

It is not lost on Bell that Gore, third on the all-time rushing list behind Emmitt Smith (18,355 yards) and Walter Payton (16,726), registered three of his nine 1,000-plus yard seasons after he turned 30, in addition to a 967-yard season in 2015 and a 961-yard season in 2017.<\/p>\n

For Bell, Gore is a living, breathing testament to how it is possible to stiff-arm and juke Father Time in the open field if need be.<\/p>\n

When Frank Gore talks, Le\u2019Veon Bell listens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look at a guy like Frank Gore, right?\u201d Bell said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve been fortunate that he\u2019s in my room, and I kinda pick his brain over just little things here and there. And he kinda has a similar mindset that I have. He\u2019s playing at a high level still, and he\u2019s talking about the things that he was doing when he was 28. Like, \u2018Yeah Le\u2019Veon, when I was 28, I was doing this that and the other.\u2019 So I know like I\u2019m doing the right things just \u2019cause I\u2019m hearing from it from a guy who\u2019s done it. \u2026 Is doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adam Gase and GM Joe Douglas made their locker-room culture better by bringing in Gore, and they may have helped make Bell better at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything that comes out of his mouth is kinda like wisdom,\u201d Bell said. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Damn, I didn\u2019t really think about it like that.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to his Jets debut, Bell was intent on making a splash after sitting out the 2018 season because of his contract dispute with the Steelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could carry 50 times if they ask me to,\u201d he said at the time. Gase, who struggled last season with his handling of Bell, thankfully refrained. With Gore here to keep him fresh, there will be no need for any Just Give Me the Damn Ball requests.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s got so much experience, you gotta respect it and really hear out what he says,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n

Gore\u2019s offseason workouts are legendary, and Bell has showed up as a lean mean machine steeled partly by rigorous boxing workouts at Different Breed Sports Academy in Teaneck, N.J.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 28 years old,\u201d Bell said. \u201cI played in this league at 21. And I feel better at 28 than I did at 21.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell sat out last preseason and not having any preseason game<\/a>s now doesn\u2019t bother him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really get a lot of preseason reps anyway during the course of my career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

If iron sharpens iron, Bell sees the benefit of practicing against a Gregg Williams defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll try to trick you and make you do things that you don\u2019t necessarily want to do,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n

Bell has stepped into the leadership role that the Jets brain trust had expected Seahawk For Life Jamal Adams to fill. He nipped a potential powder keg in the bud with defensive players during Sunday\u2019s volatile practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need those type of intense practices like that,\u201d Bell said. \u201cAt the same time, you want to make sure it saves the guys not getting hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bell caught 66 balls last season but twice exceeded 80 with the Steelers, and needs to be a weapon for Sam Darnold with the Jets suspect wide receiver corps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just gotta make sure he stays healthy. \u2026 I told him no bars [laugh],\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n

No worries, Darnold is well aware that COVID-19 can be far worse than the mononucleosis that sidelined him for three games last season. Everyone has been raving about Darnold\u2019s comfort and control in his second year together with Gase.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to follow him,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n

You want to follow Frank Gore, the man who has defied the odds as no other, too. Especially if you\u2019re Le\u2019Veon Bell.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
