Scouting Report: Strengths

• He’s a creative runner with good vision in the open field. While he won't be a dominant blocker due to his frame, he can still make contributions on the perimeter. He’s also a potential return specialist.
• Has the burst off the snap to be split out wide in the NFL.
• Assertive working up the seam, Bell accelerates quickly and glides once he gets going.
• Gets a quick release off the line, dips his shoulder and shows some savvy as a route runner to avoid contact with defenders to get into his route.
• He’s at his best facing the line of scrimmage, when he’s able to use his body to box out defenders. Bell runs well after the catch, and he’s willing to work as a blocker downfield despite his limitations.
• A fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; he should be able to create separation, and his speed, though not elite, is enough to threaten down the seam.
• Smoothly transitions from receiver to runner, demonstrating adequate speed to pose a threat along the seam.
