Most draft prospects you’ll see this year will come from big universities with a history of producing NFL talent. Joique Bell’s journey to the NFL was a little different.

Defying all odds, Bell made it to the big leagues via Wayne State University, a Detroit-based college. Bell won the Harlon Hill trophy while in school, an honor that recocnizes the top D2 running back.

Bell then went on to play six seasons for his home-town Detroit Lions.
