How could Rice "move" with a 4.71 forty but Bell can't with a quicker 40? Did you know this before Rice showed you a HOF career? We're talking one 40 time so if you think that's pro career comparison then you're clueless.
Do you know what the term "move" means? Nobody said he's a 1st/2nd rounder but the kid can play. I'm sure you were chomping at the nads' of John Ross when he was drafted with "elite" speed and that great athleticism.
Bell caught 240 balls for almost 3000 yards in 3 seasons in a top 1-2 conference in all of college football. He is one of the already NFL ready receivers in the class. He's physical, a great route runner, is mature beyond his years and has good hands. Don't stray too far from the boards here because the kid will have a very nice career as a top 3-4 WR on a team.
No I was NEVER a fan of Ross in the 1st round. To me he was a 3rd rounder for his size. We should have taken Lattimore or Humphrey that year in the 1st. 40 times do not tell it all but it does help some. Bell doesn't have quick feet or even speed in short areas to seperate to get open at the next level. The numbers you put up in college don't always translate to the NFL either. He's more of a bench warmer or ST guy to me
