"I'm just trying to get in better shape," he said, out of breath. "Get my lungs right."
Without an offseason program, players like Bell didn't have the opportunity to catch on with a team. He had to work out by himself in Colorado, which doesn't compare to being alongside teammates.
As a result, Bell needs to drive himself to get back into football shape, thinking he may reach his goal after one more week.
"I'm getting there," he said. "I've still got to get my legs underneath me. It's been awhile since I've actually played or practiced."
As he pushes himself physically, Bell is also working on his mental game.
"I'm taking a lot of mental reps, focusing in meetings," he said. "I'm trying to take care of myself physically so I can perform mentally when I get in there."
