Bell was a perimeter wide receiver throughout his collegiate career (91.2% out wide). He's a muscular wide receiver with a compact build who profiles as a chain-moving possession receiver who can provide some juice after the catch. Bell was an underneath threat in 2025 with a 9.4 aDOT. He was fed a STEADY diet of horizontal routes (drag, slant, etc). 63.2% of his targets were within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. Bell does a good job of using his strength and quick first step off the line to win with those route types. Bell's hips are stiff as he isn't the most fluid receiver when he's asked to sink his hips and throttle down quickly. His steps get choppy, and it's not a fluid process. This explains why he was deployed in the way that he was in 2025 by Louisville. I'm enamored with the idea of Bell turning into a power slot with his skillset. He utilizes his muscular build well after the catch. Bell had 20 missed tackles forced over the last two seasons. He also logged two seasons with at least 7.2 yards after the catch per reception. Bell moves like a running back with the ball in his hands. He's quick and decisive with the ball in his hands, but he also has the patience to allow his blocks to develop and create running lanes.
