The new first-year players for the Philadelphia Eagles were on the field for drills at rookie minicamp for the first time Friday. In the offensive line group, Markel Bell stood out.
Standing at 6-foot-9, 346 pounds, Bell is hard to miss. On the first day of Eagles rookie minicamp, he gained attention for his massive size.
NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Dave Zangaro highlighted Bell in his rookie camp notes Friday.
“The thing that stood out most among the offensive linemen was third-round pick Markel Bell,” wrote Zangaro. “He’s every bit of 6-foot-9 with a long and somewhat slender build, especially in his lower half, despite weighing 346 pounds.
“Might need a little more junk in the trunk.”
Other Eagles insiders discussed Bell’s height and big frame on social media.
The Eagles selected Bell at No. 68 overall in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
