Although Dantonio had heard of Bell, they had never scouted him personally or had thought of offering him a scholarship. With football season over, Dantonio sent his running back 's coach to scout Bell at his high school basketball game. After he finished his senior football season, he finally received a scholarship offer from Michigan State after a number of players had got into trouble and had open scholarships available with a need at running back.

He was ranked as the fifth best running back by NFLDraftScout.com and ranked the best overall running back by NFL analyst Bucky Brooks. He received an invitation to the NFL Combine and participated in all workouts and positional drills. Bell was satisfied with his combine performance and only performed positional drills at Michigan State 's Pro Day. Bell, Dion Sims, William Gholston, Johnny Adams, and five other Michigan State prospects worked out in front of scouts and representatives from 29 NFL teams. The only head coach that attended was Pittsburgh Steelers ' head coach Mike Tomlin. Scouts considered Bell a big bruising back with quick feet and lower body strength and also gave him positive reviews for his ability to run north - south, for his strong cuts, and nice bursts through holes. The only negative reviews were based on his limited ball - carrier vision, inconsistent blocking, and his height that would possibly affect his speed and ability to dodge tacklers.

I 'm not going to settle for anything. I know what I do and what I bring to the table. I 'm not going out here getting the ball 400 times if I 'm not getting what I feel I 'm valued at. '' After news broke across the internet, Bell tweeted : `` I 'm trying to win a super bowl... I can ( sic ) care less about what happens after this season... my biggest thing I 'm focused on is this team I 'm on right now, playing for / with my brothers, & bringing back a 7th ring ! what happens next year is irrelevant to my goals ''.
