Chris BellMIA

Waldman identifies inconsistency with execution as an underlying theme in Bell's scouting report, particularly in decisions around settling and using tempo against zone coverage. Bell has been observed settling behind fallen defenders (poor positioning), failing to communicate effectively with his quarterback, and creating confusion that leads to turnovers. Waldman notes these route-execution issues appear in almost every game scouted. While Bell possesses massive physical talent, Waldman emphasizes that massive physical talents typically don't achieve the same success as skilled technicians with baseline physical talent.
