From now until the 2023 NFL Draft takes place, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top 10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling Michigan wide receiver Ronnie Bell.

— Good size with great length
— Plays to frame, physical press corner that’s comfortable and embraces challenges receivers at the line of scrimmage
— Aggressive with the ball in the air, trusts himself to make a play in the football

— Willing tackler and run supporter, some experience blitzing off the edge
— Productive player who made an immediate impact at new school after transferring
— Experience at both outside cornerback spots
— Named team captain after just one year at Virginia
— Not a twitchy corner who plays a little tall and on his heels
— Feast/famine in press who can miss and lose off the line of scrimmage
— Doesn’t look as comfortable in zone and has less experience there, likes to have his hands on the receiver
— Gets grabby when he feels like he’s in trouble, will tug on jerseys when receivers get a step vertically and prone to drawing penalties
— Not an elite athlete who lacks top-end speed
— Didn’t have a great Senior Bowl week in practice against top competition from his class
