Former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell has stayed active since retiring, even if things haven’t always gone as planned.
This week, he surprised fans with a blunt post about adulthood. On X, he wrote, “nobody tells you that a big part of being an adult is doing all you can to stay out of prison.”
The message caught people off guard because Bell hadn’t faced any recent legal trouble, although his cousin had accused him of unwanted behavior earlier this year. Fans were left a bit confused by his serious tone and wondered what prompted the post.
Bell has been very active online since retiring and often shares personal thoughts, but this post felt different.
Fans just got into the comments as soon as possible. Some tried to lighten the moment.

One user replied, “I think there’s a word other than “adult” that fits better here.”

Another said, “As someone who’s been an ‘adult’ for over a year now it’s not that hard.”

Others pushed back harder on Bell. One fan wrote, “Hey man, this isn’t normal. This is like a very minuscule part of being an adult. Actually non existent if you do it right.”

Many comments shared the same message. People felt confused. Some even linked the remark made was related to his adult site, which he joined a few years back, and it makes more sense.
Bell did not follow up with any explanation. That silence left fans to guess what he meant. His recent public activity has focused on workouts, music, and small reflections about life. Nothing hinted at any legal trouble.
Bell enjoyed a strong NFL career during the early days. The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in 2013, and he quickly turned into one of the league’s top all-around backs. He earned multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors and dominated as both a runner and receiver. His career shifted after a contract standoff in 2018, and he later played for the Jets, Chiefs, Ravens, and Buccaneers before moving on.
For now, fans wait to see if Bell adds more...
