I don't know if that will work unless the practice squad protection is still in effect. He was highly sought after after the draft. The Cowboys gave him 200,000 guarantee and 15k signing bonus. They like this kid.

Hey Dre , I remember you from the Ranch back in the day. Anyway I called Pet Cat on this dude day one. He appears to have that special something that leads to a roster spot.

I am definitely pulling for my guy

I like the safety from GA tech too. We hate on Jerry and Stephen about the safety position but it's looking pretty good lately.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

He has range with his 4.4 speed. He possibly could play FS.

In a pass happy league we need safeties that can cover though. That's why Kearse is a starter. He can do it all.

 

[Dre11]

A little more on him. He came out of New Jersey as a 4 star recruit and committed to Maryland over Michigan and Ohio State but wasn't able to play there was expelled from team for violating a team rule. He had to tranfer to a Juco college for a year, he then was offered by Nebraska and South Carolina but decided to go to FAMU instead.

T

Maybe, just maybe he can compete for Kearse job within a couple of years

hat would be perfect
Ideally that’s what you want in every case. One guy ready to replace the guy in front of him
That keeps you from having to reach in a draft and having to over pay guys

Those were good times over there.

He played well his Junior year as a deep safety. He played close to the line his senior year, he can do both.

 

[ChuckA1]

Kearse is a great player and will probably be one of the defense captains again. This fan isn't so ready to replace him anytime soon.

 

[Typhus]

I hope he does well, but there are reasons he was an UDFA.
Could be a pet cat type though.

That seems to be the mystery, and as much as I have looked around I have found no answers to why this player went undrafted.

Yep. Seems scouts were all over him

If true let's hope the coaches see it and keep him.

Hoping this kid impresses and make the team. I coached with a guy who says he's a cousin of his(confirmed by my wife who is from Bridgeton, NJ) Bell is from Bridgeton, NJ. Heard and read that this guy has some Sean Taylor type ability. Living here in Maryland seeing Taylor play, if this guy is half of what Taylor was we may have found a gem.

Sean Taylor ability .. yet went undrafted ?

- Seems like the measurements are there 6'4 ., 212 lbs ... 4.41 speed
... but does he play up to those measurements on the playing field ?
Is he a ball hawk ?.... 1 one INT in 2021

- He may need to be on a practice squad or special teams on NFL roster for before he can emerge.
My expectations are low risk/high reward.

- Cowboys coaches got far more out of special teams core guy Jayvon Kearse than anyone ever imagine.
Maybe in due time, Bell can follow that same pathway .

I don’t know anything about Ball.

That being said. If you’re a safety, having DQ as your defensive coordinator is a major positive.

Remains a mystery if Im being honest here.
Would love for someone to provide a reason, and at least we would have a baseline, but there has been nothing, nada.

 

[Bowdown27]

This kid has a shot to make the team. He needs a strong camp and can push to do special teams and intertwine w hooker Kearse and Wilson. Hooker and Kearse are on cheap two year deals. Bell could make his way to be a starter down the line

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Eagles wanted him bad but he chose Dallas

 

[Proof]

yeah saw a bunch of salty reactions from them. always a nice bonus

Listed weaknesses do not instill great coverage ability. YouTube'd a video of him and it's basically all run plays.

I am skeptical.

 

[Mannix]

If he can shut down Noah Brown in practice, we'll know that we really have something.

I hope he's a diamond in the rough
But he was not drafted for a reason.
