As many of you know, Le’Veon Bell is out for the season after tearing his MCL against the Bengals in a 16-10 loss. When healthy, Bell was one of the most effective backs in the league averaging 4.9 yards a carry and 556 in just six games. The injury to Bell was unfortunate, a roll up on an awkward looking tackle from Vontaze Burfict. It looked very ugly at first, and some even thought it could have been a broken leg or a dreaded ACL tear. Alas, it was just the MCL and Bell should make a full recovery in time for next season.
Anyway, Bell is a very active social media user, oftentimes tweeting out several times a day and going back and forth with followers. On Monday, two Internet trolls came after Bell with some incorrect info. He was quick to respond
