Except he's not old really.In Oakland, Pauly wanted older players coming out of school which I thought that same principle would apply here. Bell is one of those seasoned players with a high probability of success this fall
Did not redshirt.
Not only played as a true freshman in the B1G, but had 80+ catches for 1,000+ yards as a true freshman. The jump from HS to college may not be as extreme as from college to the NFL, but it's still a tough transition physically and mentally for so many kids, so for him to be that impactful as a true freshman should be see as a big positive in his confidence, work ethic, preparation, etc.
Then declared for the draft after three seasons of college ball, the soonest any player can do it.
