Le’Veon Bell, a former running back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets, said he smoked marijuana (cannabis) and competed in games.

“That’s what I did,” Bell said on Bistool Sports’ “Still Here” podcast, which was released Saturday, according to the Associated Press.

He added: “I smoked weed when I was playing football. I’ve even smoked marijuana before a game and gone out and rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns,” he said.

When the host asked for confirmation, “Are you saying you did that in the NFL,” the 31-year-old answered unequivocally, “Yes.” Bell is out of action after the 2021 season. But he’s not retired yet.메이저사이트

He started his professional career in Pittsburgh in 2013. During his time with the Steelers, he was suspended twice for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

He was a three-time Pro Bowl (all-star) selection and one-time All-Pro (first- and second-team honors for the league’s best players).
