Browns Host Louisville Wideout Chris Bell on Pre-Draft Visit

Cleveland is weighing his strong production against an ongoing ACL recovery in search of Day 2 value.

Overview

  • Bell finished 2025 with 72 receptions for 917 yards and six touchdowns at Louisville, earning First-Team All-ACC and Biletnikoff semifinalist honors.
  • He tore his ACL late in the 2025 season against SMU, which kept him from participating in the Senior Bowl, NFL Combine testing, and a pro day.
  • Despite limited testing, Bell was officially measured at 6-foot-2 and 222 pounds at the Combine.
  • The Browns have focused their visits on wide receivers, also hosting Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, Omar Cooper Jr., and Jordyn Tyson.
  • Cleveland holds picks No. 6, 24, and 39, and multiple reports view Bell as a likely Day 2 option who could be in play at No. 39 if his medical checks are satisfactory.
