FOUND: Pff data shows browns wr among best rookies vs man coverage - You Need To See This

Some fans’ expectations for rookie wide receiver David Bell were too high after he was a third round pick of the Browns last April. Transitioning into more snaps in the slot and injuries limited the opportunities he had. Overall it was a solid year that he can build on and PFF had him as a very effective player against man coverage.

Among rookies, they rank him fourth best in terms of getting open against man coverage. For a player that doesn’t have elite speed or athleticism being a polished route runner and creating separation with technique is how he needs to win at this level. This is a good stat to be high in and shows that there’s a role for Bell on this team in 2023.
