With Amari Cooper’s departure, the Dallas Cowboys are very much in the wide receiver market come the draft in two weeks. Purdue’s David Bell had quite the productive career, tallying 2,946 yards and 21 touchdowns on 232 receptions.
In 2021, he earned first-team All-Big Ten, first-team All-American and Big Ten Receiver of the Year honors.
He was also named to 2020 First-team All-Big Ten, as well as being 2019 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, First-team Associated Press Freshman All-American, and Honorable mention All-Big Ten selection. A two-sport high school athlete (basketball, 4A state champion), Bell chose the Boilermakers over other Big Ten powerhouses Ohio State and Penn State.
The production is there, the question is whether the athleticism and film will translate to the NFL.
