Kenny Bell WR Nebraska

Kenny Bell

 

6'1 197 out of Nebraska

One thing that I take notice of in WRs are the ones that know how to go up and get the ball.  They either just out muscle defenders or seem to have a nose for it.  Landry and OBJ noticeably had these traits for Zach at LSU. 

 

That brings me to Kenny Bell.  I'm in no way saying he's comparable to the guys I mentioned in their respective play but he has that nose for the ball and a huge home run threat.  The one thing keeping him in the mid-rounds seems to be questions in how much he can bulk up and he weighed in this weekend at 197 after staying around 185 most of college.  He not only is quick but seems to have that second level he kicks into that just blazes past guys and with the added mass, he still ran a 4.4 flat.  

 

Keep your eye on Kenny Bell in R4-5.

Kenny Bell with unofficial 4.42, then 4.40 in forty but:

College Scout for GM Jr Scouting Josh Liskiewitz @JoshLiskiewitz

Nebraska's Bell had a very rough workout - stiff, upright on every break, poor tracker, fought the ball as well.

I like Kenny Bell , but he's looked awkward in these drills so far. Uncomfortable.

Kenny Bell appeared slow in gauntlet drill . #NFLCombine

Yeah he has technical aspects that need to be refined but that's something I think Proehl could work with.  He's definitely still worth a look.

Just curious, what makes you unimpressed to not take a gander on him in the late rounds?

I watched 5 minutes on every prospect today on YouTube. Do it every year.

Watched every drill the guy did today. Looked at his stat sheet. I even dig a little bit deeper just because this thread was started. I am just not impressed with anything I saw. Why waste a pick when you can pick someone that can actually contribute.

Kenny Bell RSP Film Room No.20: He's not just an athlete--

he's a physical, fearless football player.

Bell isn’t Odell Beckham, but the reasons I like his game aren’t much different on tape. I’m a fan of quick, physical, technically sound, smart, and versatile football players. Kenny Bell hits these marks. ... I’m a fan in the same way I was a fan of Odell Beckham

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
