Summary
Strengths
Dense, muscular frame with explosive straight line speed
Shields cornerbacks with wide frame on in-breaking routes
Powers through tacklers with the ball in his hands like a wild bull
Averaged over 17 yards per catch in 2024 with Tyler Shough as the starting QB
Weaknesses
Torn ACL at the end of the 2025 season
Routes lack polish and route tree production was essentially shallow crosser, slant or hitch
Releases can be uneccessarily long and exposes his frame for corners to jam
Only 11 targets of 20+ yards in 2025 is perplexing with his kind of size and speed
Final Report
Bell is a muscular freight train at wide receiver. His route tree production is limited and there's not much polish when he's attempting to get open. When the ball is in his hands, he plows through defenders like they are cruiserweights. For his lack of detail in his releases and routes, he does a good job utilizing his size to shield cornerbacks to win the football underneath. Bell got better every year at Louisville (four seasons) and might have his best football ahead of him, but a torn ACL towards the end of the season puts a giant speed bump in his current development. Bell had a private 30 visit with the New York Jets.
