Le'Veon Bell Scouting Report

Michigan State Spartans running back Le'Veon Bell is an obvious bruiser with quick feet. He can move the chains on the ground and also possesses remarkably good hands as a receiver.

Bell's bread and butter is his ability to work between the tackles, drop his shoulder and fall forward for solid yardage. He won't break off huge runs, but he can wear down a defense and control the clock. Lateral agility isn't a total wash either. He can side-step and plant a foot to change direction with relative ease. First contact doesn't often bring him down and he can churn his legs with the best of them.

Bell is a respectable pass-catcher and could possibly be an every-down back if given the opportunity. He stays behind his lead blockers well. A beat late in recognizing a cut-back lane. He can make himself small and uses small movements to avoid taking big hits.

Average, expected speed for his size, although there are reports suggesting he wants to lose a few more pounds before landing in the NFL.

Bell projects as a fourth-round prospect in the 2013 NFL Draft.
