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

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
