    Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell reunite ahead of Steelers game vs. Raiders

    By Mike Moraitis,

    During their prime years with the Pittsburgh Steelers , wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell were two of the most dynamic players in the NFL, and you could certainly make the argument that both were the very best at their respective positions.

    We've seen the two reunite here and there over the years, and the former dynamic duo were together once again for the Steelers' Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

    Ahead of the contest, Brown and Bell were spotted together. This is the first time the two have joined forces publicly since Bell was a guest on Brown's podcast during the summer.

    But Sunday and the podcast appearance aren't the only times the two former Steelers have been together this year. Brown also walked Bell out for a boxing match back in May.

    Brown was a sixth-round pick of the Steelers in 2010, and spent nine years with the team. Bell joined Pittsburgh as a second-round pick in 2013 and played in five seasons for the franchise. Unfortunately, both saw ugly exits.

    Brown was vocal about his desire to get traded out of Pittsburgh after running into issues with the team, and the Steelers ultimately obliged. Bell sat out the entire 2018 season after getting franchise tagged and never played another down for Pittsburgh.

    Neither player had anywhere near the success in their new homes as they had with the Steelers.

    Brown didn't even play a snap for the Raiders before lackluster stints with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to close out his career. He did win a Super Bowl with Tampa, though.

    Bell joined the New York Jets but was a shell of himself. He bounced around with a few other teams after that but ultimately was out of the league by 2021.
