- Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Wells doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- Wells seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Wells doesn’t make the effort to create separation.

- Physically, he profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
