The Philadelphia Eagles have a meeting scheduled with Ohio State safety Vonn Bell. The status of Walter Thurmond is uncertain because of his pending free agency status as well as his fit in Jim Schwartz’s scheme.

Bell is a complete safety that is able to make plays against the run and is athletic enough cover tight ends or receivers. Having come from the Big Ten Conference, physicality is an ingrained part of his game.

Here is a video of Bell telling The Eagles Wire about his ability to cover bigger tight ends on seam routes and in the middle of the field:

The Eagles secured one of their safety spots when they extended Malcolm Jenkins’ contract. Jenkins and Bell both went to Ohio State. There is a possibility of the two being in the same secondary in Philadelphia.
