Did get drafted:

The hitch with Bell and the reason he’s still available is because he’s not particularly athletic. He’s physically powerful and can create space and has reasonably nifty fit to create some separation. 

His athletic testing was notably poor. Bell ran a 4.65 at the NFL Scouting Combine in the 40-yard dash, then retested at his Pro Day to run even slower at 4.71.

His explosion was poor, jumping 9'10" with a 33" vertical. His agility wasn't any better with a 7.14 3-cone and a 4.57 shuttle.

Contract:

David Bell was the Browns' final pick of Day 2 at 99th overall, and he could be a big one because of how reliable he proved to be across three seasons at Purdue.

Bell had only 11 drops mixed with 232 receptions and had a drop rate of just 4.7 percent, one of the best in the nation.

When Bell can get his hands on a pass, he usually catches it. That's what stood out most to Berry and the Browns when they were evaluating him, and Berry, the Browns Executive Vice President and GM, certainly made it sound as though those skills could give Bell a big role in the offense as soon as the 2022 season begins.

For a third-round pick, Bell's college resume at Purdue couldn't be much stronger.

Bell was a First Team All-American in 2021 after he totaled 1,286 receiving yards and six touchdowns and was also named the Big Ten WR of the Year.

He's won major awards each of his three years with the Boilermakers, including Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2019 and a First Team All-Big Ten selection in 2020. He also led all FBS players with 101.2 receiving yards per game.
