Le’Veon Bell rips Joe Mixon on Twitter for being a wanna-be
Le’Veon Bell’s Pittsburgh Steelers were not slated to play until Sunday evening, so the running back spent some time watching the early action around the NFL. One thing he apparently noticed was Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon imitating his style.
Bell ripped Mixon on Twitter for supposedly mimicking his running style and his first down celebration.
for someone who feels they can do “way more” than I can, sure seems like u wanna be me! tryin to mimic my run style, my 1st down celebration

He also criticized the Cincinnati rookie for wearing an arm sleeve on his left arm and mismatching gloves:
now u wear an arm sleeve on your left arm AND went to the mismatch gloves too?! lol just change your number from 28 to 26 while your at it..

C’mon, Le’Veon. Don’t you know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?
As far as the “way more” part of Bell’s tweet, that goes back to what Mixon said after last weekend’s game between the Steelers and Bengals.
“Me personally, I feel like I can do way more than [Bell] did,” Mixon said. “Like I said, I only had seven carries. I can’t showcase nothing if I don’t get the ball. There’s nothing else I can say.”
