Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell went on a Twitter rant Tuesday night in which he called out ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and other NFL Draft analysts.
The rant appeared to a response to Kiper's opinion of Michigan State cornerback Trae Waynes. ESPN's Big Ten account tweeted out a link to Kiper's analysis and Bell, a former Michigan State player, retweeted it. After that retweet, Bell went on a tirade about Kiper and his colleague Todd McShay.
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...

— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015but 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
— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015him and his buddy Todd Mcshey...no way they watch legitimate film on all the prospects and can understand the way to compare and contrast

— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015just go to http://t.co/3NPEbvcETH and look what he said about my "skills" transitioning to the next level...
— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015all 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.
— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015but 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
— Le'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) March 4, 2015Someone then sent him a tweet asking if NFL Network's Mike Mayock was any good. Bell doesn't like him, either.
If Kiper was critical of Bell before Bell was drafted, he can't say many negative things about him now. The second-year pro made the Pro Bowl in 2014 after totaling 2,215 all-puprose yards.
