Scouting Report: Strengths
- His long arms allow him to play bigger than his size, and Bell has a frame that can carry a little more weight.
- Very good hands, accepts the ball fluidly on most throws and is ready to make a play afterward. Makes catches in traffic, even going up over taller defenders with vertical and toughness.
- He’s equally dangerous in catch-and-run situations as he is taking the top off a defense
- Bell has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- Often used on deep routes, getting separation down the sideline or over the middle on crossing routes by extending his arms rather than pure speed.
- He accelerates quickly and possesses good straight-line speed. Bell shows solid ball-tracking skills and body control downfield, able to adjust to the off-target throw.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Bell also had problems with drops when coming back to the action. He has some issues against press coverage, sometimes spending too much time hand fighting at the line of scrimmage.
- Physically, Bell 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.
- Bell seems comfortable in traffic to the point where he doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
