Well this most definitely isn’t good news for the Pittsburgh Steelers. According to a report by Colin Dunlap of CBS Pittsburgh, running backs Le’Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount were arrested for possession of marijuana on Wednesday. The report goes on to say that police found 20 grams of marijauna and that Bell was charged with DUI following the stop.

There was total of 20 grams of marijuana on the Steelers running backs at the time of the arrest, which is quite a lot for recreational use. In any event, this is story worth following. Both face serious charges from a legal standpoint and discipline from the National Football League.
Bell, who is entering his second season, is expected to be the Steelers starter with Blount backing him up. While the NFL will likely let the legalities play out, there is a chance that both will be disciplined by the Steelers organization.
