No. 3 Safety Vonn Bell:

Vonn Bell came into the NFL as a second-round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints back in 2016, and he has been a playmaker since day one.

The 25-year-old former Ohio State Buckeye has accumulated 348 tackles, eight sacks, seven forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, one interception, one touchdown, and 14 pass deflections in his four-year career.

Vonn Bell has proven to be a very reliable and very productive safety for the New Orleans Saints as 2019 was a breakout year for him.

Bell had 86 tackles, four tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, four QB hits, one interception, five passes deflected, two forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, and one touchdown. His six fumble recoveries led the NFL in 2019.

Bell also played 100 percent of the team’s defensive snaps when healthy, a feat that is pretty hard to accomplish in today’s NFL. His progression from his previous three seasons to this season should make him a valuable player for the Saints to resign this offseason.

Bell is also not listed (according to Pro Football Focus) as a top 50 free agent, meaning his asking price should not be too high. Bell is a starting safety on the Saints meaning he should definitely be a priority to resign this offseason.
