Le’Veon Bell Declares for NFL Draft

Michigan State star running back Le’Veon Bell has decided to go pro, informing head coach Mark Dantonio Wednesday, according to MLive.com. “He’s all in,” Bell’s mentor Donis Toler Jr. said. “I talked to Coach D last night, and it’s tough. Obviously, there are pros and cons, but a young man had to make a choice that’s best for him and his family, so that’s the most important thing. “Upset’s not a good word to use, but he (Dantonio) was taken aback a little bit. He thought he had a good chance of Le’Veon coming back.” The 6-2, 237-pound beast had a solid season with 1,793 yards and 12 touchdowns. Scouts say that his draft stock are somewhere in the second-to-third round. Toler noted that Bell also has an agent now. Bell also has less than half a year to have a degree with Michigan State. Toler says that Bell plans to complete that mission. “He knows the importance of going back and said he wants to graduate from college,” Toler said. Bell finished his career with the Spartans ranked sixth all-time with 33 rushing touchdowns and seventh with 3,346 yards.
