Eagles rookie Markel Bell impresses teammates at OTAs

During organized team activities, Eagles rookie offensive tackle Markel Bell has made a significant impression. Teammate Jordan Mailata humorously suggested that Bell, drafted in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, might be 'not of this planet' due to his impressive physical attributes, standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 346 pounds. With right tackle Lane Johnson sidelined, Bell has been practicing as the starting right tackle. Mailata praised Bell's professional attitude and work ethic, stating he exhibits traits more typical of a veteran. Bell aims to learn from Mailata and Johnson, indicating a commitment to developing his skills further.
