E:60 makes its fall debut on ESPN Wednesday, October 7 at 8 p.m. ET with an all new exclusive profile featuring NFL top rusher, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell.

On September 10, 2015 the Pittsburgh Steelers opened the NFL Season against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. Millions tuned in to see Tom Brady take the field just a week after a four-game suspension was nullified by a federal judge. But there was one superstar that was not at the game. Pittsburgh's all-pro running back, 23-year-old Le'Veon Bell, was serving his 1st of a 2 game suspension. On this day, E:60 cameras were granted unprecedented access with Bell as he spent the day in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio discussing his suspension and more.

After Bell was arrested in August, 2014, many predicted his NFL season would be a bust. He had disappointed Steelers fans, his teammates and received the most stinging reaction from his mother – also a life long Steelers fan who had sacrificed so much for Le'Veon. At the lowest moment of his life, his mother was there, showing him tough love.

Determined to once again make her proud, Le'Veon would have a breakthrough year - earning all-pro honors, setting franchise records and helping lead the Steelers to their most prolific offensive year in the team's history.

Bell shares his story with E:60's Lisa Salters including details of the day that threatened to derail his family's NFL dream and one of the best seasons in Steelers history.
