Bell is buying into what the new staff is hoping to do in Knoxville, Tenn., as well.
They are really trying to bring something to Tennessee, and Coach Jones told my family he has a vision for this program, It was great getting to know Coach (Willie) Martinez, Coach (Tommy) Thigpen and all of the coaches. I am really comfortable with Coach Jones, and he is coming in confident in what he is going to do there, so it will be really good to just sit back and see the results.
The potential for early playing time is there for Bell, who has been likened to a former Volunteers standout now starring in the NFL.
It is a real blessing to be able to possibly have an impact like Eric Berry had at Tennessee. He is a phenomenal player, and although I think I would make a big difference, it takes more than one person. You have to have an offense, special teams and bring it all to the table. So we will see how they end up and what happens with them over the next week.
This staff Tennessee is bringing in, you can feel the positive energy when you walk through the doors.
