Le'Veon Bell decided to be a Jet just four years too early.

After a hold out and missing the 2018 season, the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back signed with Gang Green in 2019 to a four-year deal, but his tenure there was severely underwhelming.

When Bell suited up for New York, the Jets went 6-11, and he was released in the middle of his second year with the team.

Nowadays, the Jets are totally revamped with the Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year in Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner.

Oh, and they have some guy named Aaron Rodgers.

Bell said he "for sure" wishes that this was the Jets squad he joined four years ago, and he thinks they have what it takes to make some serious noise in the league this season.

However, it goes far beyond what is on the gridiron. Bell says head coach Robert Saleh is the right man for the job.

"I wish I had this coach. The coach that they have, I wish that coach was there [when I was there]," Bell told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "Because if that coach was there, that’s the coach I needed. I needed a coach like that."

Bell praised Saleh for "keeping it simple."
