Will Le'Veon Bell re-establish himself as one of the NFL's premier running backs?

That's the $52.5 million question Jets fans will be wondering leading up to their first game of the upcoming NFL season.

If you ask Bell himself, he's ready to get the ball rolling, and called out any haters doubting his commitment to getting back into game shape after forfeiting last season, saying he's been too busy with outside hobbies like basketball and music.

“If somebody work at Target, do you think, when they work from 9 to 5, they go home and all you do is worry about putting [expletive] on the shelves? They trying to worry about what serial numbers coming up? No. You think [LeBron James] is waking up and he ain’t having no Taco Tuesdays? Ya’ll think he’s just hooping all day? Ya’ll think Beyonce’s wakes up singing all day?"

Shots fired.

Bell signed with the Jets as a free agent following his hold-out with the Steelers. That move certainly has factored in with people doubting him.

You can bet the 27-year-old will be motivated to get things going in training camp when it kicks off in the third week of August.
