Saints: Vonn Bell has much to prove in 2018

Since being drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Vonn Bell hasn’t had the luxury of a clearly defined role in the Saints defense. New Orleans defensive coordinator Dennis Allen likes to play around with his safeties. And the team needs to see more from Bell. More versatility, more dynamic play and more opportunism.

In 2017, the top three safeties for the Saints were Marcus Williams, Kenny Vaccaro and Vonn Bell. The rest of the starters in the secondary in 2017 were cornerbacks Marshon Lattimore, Ken Crawley and P.J. Williams. Out of that group, Bell is the only one to not have at least one interception last year.
