2015 East-West Shrine Game: Wednesday’s West Team Practice Report
By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell
The third practice of the West squad in the East-West Shrine was held in St. Petersburg, Florida under cloudy skies with temperatures in the 60s. The West team is being coached by former Redskins head coach and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jim Zorn. Zorn had the players practicing in full pads.
As a receiver, Crockett beat Utah State linebacker Zachary Vigil down the seam for and Kansas linebacker Benjamin Heeney on an out route. In the run scrimmage, Crockett ran hard and broke off a long run. He set up a block and made a nice cut to bolt downfield. It was very impressive and seemed to get the attention of Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.
Sources indicated that they like Crockett as a potential third-day pick. He has good size and showed a nice burst at the East-West Shrine. Crockett definitely helped himself.
Bell finished off his strong week of practice with another solid day on Wednesday. Sources with teams have been impressed with Bell and feel that he has really helped himself. He beat Stanford linebacker James Vaughters on a corner post route for a nice reception downfield.
Along with showing receiving skill, Bell flashed as a blocker on Wednesday. He sealed a running lane for Crockett to burst to the second level with a well-executed block on a linebacker. That earned the praises of the coaching staff. Entering the NFL, Bell will have to work on his blocking, but he is impressive as a receiver.
