Former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell alleged that he saw ex-New York Jets head coach Adam Gase do cocaine in his office “more than once.”
On an episode of the “Respectfully The Justin Laboy Show” posted Sunday, Bell called Gase the “dumbest” and “worst coach ever” before veering into serious accusations.
Gase “did a lot of shit in that office that coaches ain’t supposed to be doing,” Bell claimed before snorting his nose in exaggerated fashion. “We about to go to practice, bro! … This is what you’re doing in here?”
“You ain’t seen him sniff coke, bro,” Laboy responded.
“With my own two [eyes],” Bell said. “Hey, not just once, though.”
Fast-forward to 54:40 for the Gase segment:
“It was just crazy to me to actually see him doing it,” the ex-player continued. “I heard all the stories and shit. Yeah, I think Adam Gase is on that cocaina. … He was fried calling them plays. He was fried.”
Gase went 9-23 in his brief tenure with the Jets. Last year, he was hired as an assistant coach by the Los Angeles Chargers.
HuffPost has reached out to the NFL and Gase through the Chargers for comment.

Bell, who had several productive seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, played for Gase in the 2019 season and part of 2020. He played in his last NFL game in 2021 and later forged a 2-1 record as a professional boxer.
In 2025, Bell was ordered to pay $25 million in an incest suit brought by a cousin. He said he was innocent and had been denied due process.
