Le'Veon Bell is getting a lot of first team reps as the Pittsburgh Steelers open training camp.

The Steelers ranked No. 26 in the NFL in the running game last season.

Bell was a second round pick out of Michigan State, competing with Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer for carries.

"He just wanted me to compete," Bell said of Mike Tomlin. "I'm a rookie, a running back, I have to pass-protect. That's something he wants me to see so he put me against some of his better players."

The Seattle Seahawks have the most talent in the NFL of players 25-and-under.

The San Francisco 49ers rank second with Colin Kaepernick and Aldson Smith headlining.

Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Pouncey were seen wearing ballcaps that say "Free Hernandez".

The Pounceys are twins that played with Aaron Hernandez at the University of Florida.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins, the respective teams of Maurkice and Mike, plan on speaking to the players about the photos.

Hernandez is being held without bail and has been charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd.

Ben Roethlisberger's right knee is feeling much better four weeks after undergoing surgery on June 5.

"It feels great; it feels better than ever," Roethlisberger said. "I feel like it's a brand-new knee, and I feel younger than ever. I feel good."

Roethlisberger underwent a similar surgery during the 2005 season.
