David Bell is an ESPN All-American

[RDUBoiler]

The ESPN article only lists a first-team, so no Karlaftis. Still, this is a significant accomplishment for David and the Purdue coaches.

We will see when George hits the league

I think Bell will be more successful in the NFL than Karlaftis.

I don't think Karlaftis is ready to play at that level. Maybe after a few years in a NFL weight room he'll be ready. The one team Purdue played this year with multiple NFL caliber players was Ohio State. Big George was pretty much a non-factor in that game. Ohio State pushed him all over the field.

I think David Bell will be good from the start. He may not be the fastest but he has as good a set of hands as anyone out there. He's also a top notch route runner and his concentration level is off the charts. I would love for my Cowboys to draft him. Lol. They could use someone with his character.

Glad to see David is finally getting the national recognition that us Purdue fans knew already.

They got the ball out fast enough that Michael Strahan might not have been a factor. Go watch again and see how fast stroud threw it. Also, in the NFL, you can’t double team anyone with a third blocker chipping. Talent is too even.

If the buzz on Karlaftis going somewhere between the 10-20th pick in Round 1, the NFL is not planning to have him get ready in the weight room for a few years! They get their return on investment ASAP.

Hopefully he gets 1st round money and carves out a great career.

As for Bell, his work ethic, character and results will likely keep him in the league for a while. If he can be like a Marvin Harrison the team that gets him will be quite happy.

Boiler Up!

I would be disappointed if my team spent a first rounder on Karlaftis. I guess time will tell but I just don't see him being a big contributor for a while.

He is best suited for a 3-4 defense. Watch him end up in New England or tennessee

Damn, I'll have to root for New England.

You are right, George would do really well at New England.

Bentley has done well with the Pats. I could see Karlaftis joining him, although I think George has more long-term potential.

Bentley fits what Bill wants. Tough, physical player who plays the run well.
