Colts Host Injured WR Chris Bell, Eyeing Deep Draft Class

0:00On April 7th, the NFL draft is just two-and-a-half weeks away, and the Indianapolis Colts are making moves to check out Louisville wide receiver Chris. Bell, they're hosting him this week, right after his visit with the New York Jets. Bell is also stopping by the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys as teams size him up. Before late season tour in ACL sidelined him, this 6'2", 220-pound receiver, balled out in college. He wrapped up with 72 catches for 917 yards and 6 touchdowns, earning first team all ACC honors with that physical style. Teams love. Bell models his game after beasts like AJ Brown, Debo Samuel, Julio Jones and DK. Medcalf big guys who break tackles and rack up yards after the catch. Folks see the fit clear as day on tape, especially after his hot streak with huge games against Miami and Virginia. Colts fans are buzzing since their wide receiver room got thinner without Michael Pym in junior, opening a spot next to Alec Pierce, Josh Downs and Tyler Warren.

1:05Indies got bigger defensive holes, but Coach Shane Stuykin might push for offensive firepower in this deep receiver class. Bell's recovery from that ACL surgery is the big unknown, without it, he'd be first round chatter. Still, these visits show the Colts are doing their homework and with draft picks looming, anything could happen as they build around there. Quarterback.
