As the first offensive player selected in the Deshaun Watson Era, Cleveland’s front office believed that Bell’s skillset complemented Watson’s style of play and that these two could take the league by storm. Instead, both Watson and Bell have failed to justify the organization’s confidence. Since entering the league, Bell has recorded just 38 receptions for 381 yards and three touchdowns on 58 targets.
