A current event at our local HS that is kind of related here....

Last weekend, 17 football players were at a party where some were watching college football outside on the deck and some others were further out in the yard drinking beer and smoking some pot. Police show up.....long story short, 5 get straight busted with beer. 6 more are not drinking and are allowed to drive home. A bunch of others got away. One cop who was there is also the HS cop during the day. He calls principal who asks him to take down the plate number of all the cars. Principal compares those plates to ones registered to park at HS, so he knows most who were there. He instructs coach to suspend the 5 drinking plus another 8 who talked to the police and/or drove to party, plus anyone else who admits to being there.

Monday after practice he in the locker room in front of everyone, he pulls the 13 aside, then asks if anyone else wants to voluntarily give themselves up. 3 more do. Those 16 are suspended one game. But one kid, the far and away best player on the team, a kid who is getting some serious D1 interest is silent. Nothing. He's playing Friday. But not without consequence. He's now on the rest of the boys shit list. They're freezing him out. No one has talked to the kid all week. They feel betrayed, especially the 3 who gave themselves up. They were a team, they were brothers up until last weekend. 

Not the same as Bell, but definitely an interesting parallel in regards to the bonding and the 'got each others back' team mentality that takes place in the locker room. 

Oh yeah, that guy can definitely expect some "blocking breakdowns" when everyone is back on the field together.
