Blake Bell was in an unfamiliar situation after getting cut by the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 1.
For the first time since Bell could remember, he wasn't on a football team, and it created an unusual feeling for the former Oklahoma quarterback and tight end.
“It's different,” Bell said in a phone interview with The Oklahoman on Thursday. “You almost don't know what to do with yourself.
“ ... You're kind of just working out and waiting. It's just kind of a waiting game.”
Bell said he returned to Norman and stayed in good shape to make sure he was ready if a team called.
