Bell suffered a hip injury in 2024 during the second game of the season and reportedly developed a complication during surgery that has prevented him from continuing his football career.
The Browns drafted Bell in the third round (99th overall) in 2022 from Purdue, where he was named as Big Ten freshman of the year (2019), Receiver of the year (2021), and either first or second team All-Big Ten in each of his three seasons with the Boilermakers.
Bell showed excellent hands, but didn't have the speed to consistently get open on the outside, and didn't receive a full-time chance on the inside as a slot receiver, which I think would have been the preferred position for him.
Bell finished his Cleveland career with forty-one catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns, all three touchdowns in 2023.
