PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Chris Bell is a power-built, explosive wideout with the physical makeup and play style NFL teams covet in today’s hybrid receiver molds. At 6’2” and 220 pounds, he blends vertical acceleration with bruising contact balance, creating Deebo Samuel–like YAC production and A.J. Brown–style physicality at the catch point. His skill set translates best to West Coast and play-action offenses that emphasize crossers, in-breakers, and schemed touches to leverage his run-after-catch ability—ideal fits include Philadelphia, San Francisco, or Tennessee. While refinement is needed in hand discipline and press technique, Bell’s blend of size, power, and field IQ projects him as an immediate contributor with long-term WR1 upside in an NFL offense designed to feature physical, explosive pass-catchers.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
