Wide Receiver
No. 7
Idaho State
"Bell spent 1974 as a backup and a situation wide receiver, catching 13 passes for 126 yards. He scored a touchdown in the season opener at Kansas City. He was usually used when the Jets went into a three wide receiver formation on passing downs.
Ed was a regular left side wide receiver in 1972 and 1973, catching 59 passes in that span, and was third among Jet receivers in '73 with 24 catches. Despite his relatively small size, he has great endurance, missing only three games in his career.
He had two outstanding afternoons in 1972, grabbing 7-197 at Baltimore and then taking a tipped last-minute pass 83 yards for the winning touchdown against the Colts at Shea. Ed co-holds the Jet record for receptions in a game (12 vs. the Colts, 1970) with Don Maynard and Art Powell.
Drafted 9th in 1970, Ed majored in speech pathology and audiology. He works for the State Department in helping find employment for minority youths. His hometown is Waco, Texas."
