Draft season is upon us and at least one All Pro NFL player will not be hanging on every word said by longtime ESPN draftnik Mel Kiper Jr. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell went on a lengthy Twitter rant blasting Kiper about his draft projections and analysis.
I think it's so funny how Mel Kiper is just "qualified" to tlk about the draft…dude be wrong with just about everything tho…

of course anybody can say anything about a "can't miss" prospect like Clowney or Peyton Manning or somethin like that…

but he was WRONG about Ray Lewis, he def was WRONG about me…he has his favorites, and it's just crazy that ppl listen to that dude

him and his buddy Todd Mcshey…no way they watch legitimate film on all the prospects and can understand the way to compare and contrast

they both just have their favorites, and roll with they favorites all year…straight upp

all the things he said I "struggled" with, I'm excelling in! but of course he didn't know that cuz he didn't watch no legitimate film on me.

but to all the draft prospects out there, don't even worry about what they say on TV cuz NFL coaches watch film, and I mean LEGITIMATE film

Bell covered as much ground here bashing Kiper as one of his trademark mazy runs through the defense. Let’s run it down:
– Kiper is wrong about everybody, and Bell specifically.
– Kiper plays favorites.
– Kiper doesn’t watch LEGITIMATE (all caps) film.
– Kiper’s “buddy” Todd McShay is no better.
And if that wasn’t enough, Bell threw some shade at Mike Mayock just for good measure to prove that no draftnik is safe.
no he not…lol him too RT @EricOreoJohnson: @L_Bell26 Mike Mayock is pretty solid with his assessments.

I guess you could say Bell still has a chip on his shoulder over Kiper saying the Steelers “reached” by picking him in the second round.
