Patriots rookie TE seizing opportunity with big-time practice performance

New England Patriots rookie tight end Jaheim Bell has impressed throughout the training camp practices.

He had a huge day at Sunday's practice in particular, scoring three touchdowns on offense. It was an important performance considering both veteran tight ends, Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper, were out with injuries.

The hype around the seventh-round draft pick began early on. The Florida State product was compared to Deebo Samuel by his coach, wide receiver specialist TJ Brown. For the Patriots, Bell is the kind of player who could be looked back on as a major draft steal down the road.
