The Pittsburgh Steelers signed LeGarrette Blount to a two-year, $3.85 million contract in March and that seemed like a bargain in the offseason.

Blount struggled during backs-on-'backers drills and nearly started a brawl with Vince Williams when the linebacker and Le'Veon Bell wrestled to the ground.

"Easy for me to work with," running backs coach James Saxon said of Blount. "Great for the (running backs) room and the guy’s an outstanding runner. Very prideful guy. Comes to work every single day. Wants to do it right."

Bloint and Bell have become friends and the Steelers hope the relationship won't be strained when they compete for carries.
