Bell has spent the past 5 seasons with the Wolverines and was 2-time captain for the program. He suffered an ACL injury halfway through Michigan’s first game of the 2021 season.
But Bell bounced back in a big way, playing his best season yet in 2022. Bell totaled 62 receptions for 889 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging over 60 receiving yards per game. Across his career, bell has totaled 2,269 yards and 9 touchdowns.
Because of his injury in 2021 he could have stayed for one more year in Ann Arbor, but with the year he just put up his decision was a fairly easy one. Bell is likely to be a mid-round draft pick, 4-6 depending on his performance at the upcoming combine.
