The first Spartan to be chosen in the 2013 NFL Draft is running backLe'Veon Bell, taken with the No. 48 overall pick in the second round. A Spartan has been chose in every NFL Draft since 1941.
Our draft profile of Bell is here. This would seem to be a perfect fit for Bell and the Steelers. When you think of Pittsburgh, you think power running.
You can go talk about Bell with Steelers fans on the SBN blog Behind The Steel Curtain.
From a two-star recruit who was looking at possibly playing defense to second-round pick. Congrats to Le'Veon.
STEELER NATION WHAT UPPPP?!!!
