Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Dawand Jones
Summary
Standing nearly 6-foot-9 with massive 36-inch arms, Markel Bell is a towering presence at left tackle. He uses his rare length and grip strength to shut down defenders, but his height can be a disadvantage if he stands too upright. When he plays with a low stance and good leverage, he is an immovable "brick wall" with high-end NFL potential.
