Pierre Bell
SI Grade
2.92
Position: Class:
5Sr
School: Conference: Ht., Wt.:
6-1, 227
40 Time:
4.85

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year player awarded all-Conference honors as a senior after totaling 100/9.5/1, while also intercepting two passes and breaking up five more. Junior totals included 97 tackles.

POSITIVES: Bell is a serviceable linebacker who lacks the size and speed to be a starter at the next level, yet he could find a home as a backup in a one-gap system if he proves his worth on special teams.

NEGATIVES: Slow getting off blocks. Displays just average skill in coverage.

ANALYSIS: Small, yet aggressive, linebacker best in pursuit. Plays assignment football, does not bite on play-action passes, and flies around the field trying to make the tackle. Breaks down well, displays good footwork moving laterally, and quickly locates the ball. Quickly changes direction, shows speed in pursuit, and aggressively lays his shoulders into ball carriers.

PROJECTION: FA
