Le'Veon Bell Rips Mel Kiper Jr, Todd McShay
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell has fought an uphill battle since coming out of high school when he was only listed as a two-star recruit, and then faced more doubters when he went into the NFL Draft and fell to the second round.
Apparently, Bell has held some animosity against those doubters and couldn't bite his tongue any longer. Bell took out his frustration on ESPN NFL Draft experts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay in a series of tweets.
I think it's so funny how Mel Kiper is just "qualified" to tlk about the draft...dude be wrong with just about everything tho...

all the things he said I "struggled" with, I'm excelling in! but of course he didn't know that cuz he didn't watch no legitimate film on me.
