SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — What if Vonn Bell had been given an earlier chance to show what he could do on the back end of Ohio State's defense?
The junior All-American, first-team All-Big Ten performer and soon to be NFL Draft pick, said he weighs that question often.
"It's lingered in my mind," Bell said Monday, stationed at a Fiesta Bowl media table at the Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort. "But it wasn't my time. I was a young guy. Had a lot to learn. I wasn't ready yet."
Specifically, Bell spoke about the 2013 Big Ten Championship Game.
