CHICAGO — Lamar Bell doesn’t claim remarkable foresight for recruiting Nicholas Morrow.
Morrow played offensive lineman for his first three seasons at Huntsville (Ala.) High School before switching to outside linebacker as a senior, but Bell saw enough film to know Morrow would be one of the better athletes on the then-Greenville College Panthers defense.
An NFL opportunity — much less a career now entering its sixth season— wasn’t a topic of conversation.
