Chiefs Working Out Another RB

Joique Bell Profile



Late last week, Scout.com reported that the Kansas City Chiefs would hold a private workout with Arizona State running back Dimitri Nance, who is projected to be a late round draft pick. And today, Scout.com has learned that the Chiefs will conduct a private workout with another under-the-radar runner, Wayne State’s Joique Bell, on April 1st.

A four-year starter at Wayne State, Bell rushed for over 2,000 yards the last two seasons and dominated the competition at the Division II level. He rushed for 2,084 yards and 29 touchdowns this past year and won the Harlon Hill Award, which is given to the best Division II player.

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Bell participated in the Senior Bowl and Scouting Combine, but was unable to elevate his draft stock, as he failed to demonstrate the explosion scouts covet. Bell was timed at a 4.68 in the 40 in Indianapolis and a few weeks later, he ran the same time at his Pro Day. Bell is expected to participate in Central Michigan’s Pro Day on March 24th and will try to get his 40-time in the upper-4.5 region.
Bell is currently the 11th rated running back listed on Scout.com’s 2010 NFL Draft Rankings.

Please tell me NFL scouts wouldn't be stupid enough to put more stock in a player if they raised their 40 time as the articles suggests Bell is trying to do.

At first I was thinking of Demetri Martin, and I thought that would be really cool to have Demetri Martin on the Chiefs.

5'11, 220 makes him sound like a future fullback.

Think it's a good thing they're turning over every rock.

He'd be better than anything WE have.

Hey!! Wait a minute! We are good at RB. The cookie-cutter post doesn't apply to that position.

I'd have no problem taking Bell in the 5th round. Have read some good things about him.

That line about Bell not showing explosion is bullshit. He did very well at the drills that test for quickness and explosion. The 40 yard dash tests for neither of those.

Joique Bell is a badass. I think we could pick him up somewhere after the 5th.
