The Bills signed an interesting player recently that just got a bit more… interesting.
Linebacker Mike Bell is vying for depth spot on Buffalo’s defense as a versatile linebacker out of Fresno State. He was signed as an undrafted free agent after the recent NFL Draft.
But Bell was not a 2020 draft candidate. He went undrafted in 2019, was not signed by a team after it, worked out for a year, and now landed a contract with the Bills after bulking up to compete at the next level.
But Bell has a colorful background in football. Growing up in Southern California, Bell, 22, told the Buffalo News that he was coached by… Snoop Dogg. Yes, the world-wide known rapper.
“He’s super smart. He’s a football head. He loves football. He knows the game,” Bell said. “People would always come and take pictures with him, but I just saw him as Coach Snoop.”
Snoop Dogg’s actually a pretty well-known commodity in the football world. His son, Cordell Broadus, previously played wide receiver for UCLA but left the program. In addition, Snoop Dogg also runs his own football league, the Snoop Youth Football League. The program actually was featured on Netflix.
