Bell is ideally suited for a Cover-3 or Cover-4 zone-heavy scheme that prioritizes instincts and tackling over pure athleticism in coverage.
Immediate starter as a box safety with a ceiling as a versatile, opportunistic playmaker in the secondary.
A man-heavy scheme that requires him to consistently cover slot receivers or tight ends in isolated one-on-one situations.
His instincts, tackling prowess, and ability to play downhill make him a valuable asset in schemes that allow him to be around the ball, despite average athletic measurables.
Selected #61 overall in Round 2 of the 2016 NFL Draft by New Orleans Saints out of Ohio State.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
