War Room analysis

Against the inside run: Is powerful, and plays compact inside. Coils and explodes on blockers and ballcarriers inside the tackle box. Can snap the head of the blocker, lock out and shed with force. Plays with strong hands and can control blockers. Attacks lead blockers with force. Is a strong, wrap-up tackler; shows the knee bend to get under the pads of runners and make plays. Knows when to scrape and slip blocks. Grade: 8.0

 

Against the outside run: Has great speed. Is quick to read and react. Plays laterally with a burst. Closes with another gear to make plays in the open field. Uses hands well to shed cut blocks, easily moving through traffic. Makes plays sideline to sideline. Is smart to slip blocks and has the speed to backdoor blocks and still make plays outside. Grade: 8.5

 

Blitz/coverage: Is a straight-line blitzer with few pass-rush moves. Tries to use power to blow through blockers, especially running backs. Gets sacks because of effort and speed. Is solid in coverage. Has the speed to recover from mistakes. Shows good awareness, and understands responsibilities. Gets too upright in backpedal; takes an extra step out of transition to compensate. Grade: 6.5

 

Run/pass recognition: Shows good intelligence, and is quick to read and react to passes or runs. Bites on hard play-action fakes, but has the speed to recover. Always seems to be around the ball. Grade: 6.5

 

Pursuit/tackling: Goes all out, all the time. Effort is infectious and makes many plays on sheer will. Shows outstanding range. Can snap his hips to blow up ballcarriers. Puts full force into tackles to shock ballcarriers. Shows the quick footwork to make plays in the open field. Grade: 8.5

 

Bottom line: Bell is a tackling machine, always looking to punish ballcarriers. He shows an internal rage that is infectious. He is an ideal NFL middle linebacker. Bell is not a perfect prospect, but his size, strength, speed, toughness and competitiveness will make him a first-round pick.
