Kansas City Chiefs: Four things Le’Veon Bell brings to offense

3. Experience

This is less than what Bell brings on the field, and more of a narrative way to look at the situation. He has been a dominant back in the league before, and he knows what it takes to reach greatness, and just how quickly that greatness can fade. That is something that people value at all positions. Patrick Mahomes was helped by being under the tutelage of Alex Smith. The same can be said for Edwards-Helaire here.

CEH came into the league with a lot of pressure on him after Williams opted out. He may not have been the veteran voice at his position, but he was the man expected to produce. Now, he gets to see how a legit proffesional goes to work every single day. This isn’t to talk negatively about Darrel Williams of course, but Williams himself is still relatively young and hasn’t had nearly the experience that Bell has.

Bell gets to go from a situation that some may see as toxic, to a locker room with strong leadership and a chance to leave his mark on a young rookie. For some reason, Bell has a negative image surrounding him as a bad locker room guy.

Producing on the field is the number one priority for securing the bag next year, but stepping into a leadership role as a positive locker room guy will go a long way in making teams comfortable signing Bell for a multi-year deal. Andy Reid’s endorsement will mean a lot in league circles, so expect Bell to thrive in this role.
