Josh Bell the chemist

Maybe you don't know much about Green Bay Packers' cornerback Josh Bell. You've come to the right place!

Josh Bell was born on January 8, 1985 in Los Angeles and he attended high school in Dallas where he was on the track and football teams. After high school, Josh Bell enrolled at Baylor, redshirted his first season in 2004, and then started in 2005 as the number 3 cornerback. He worked his way up over the years and finished his career after competing in 45 career games.

It was here at Baylor than Josh Bell majored in chemistry--definitely my all-time worst subject in high school! Even mention the term and I remember the drudgery of memorizing formulas and the preiodic table of the elements. Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon...TORTURE!


But apparently chemistry agrees with Josh Bell quite well. He graduated in May 2009 as a chemistry major. If I had a chance to interview Mr. Bell, here are a few questions I might ask:

1. What is your favorite element and why?
2. If you could pick any career in the chemistry field, what would it be?
3. Do you think the the Semisonic song "Chemistry" has any hard science behind it?

What would you ask chemist Josh Bell if given the opportunity?

Still going strong - William Blackmon

You may not have heard of Josh Bell, but William Blackmon is another story. Blackmon is a Rhode Island native and is currently the corner back and return specialist for the Green Bay Packers.

William Blackmon came right out off the Boston College Eagles football team and onto the Packers in the 2006 NFL Draft. As a college football player for the Eagles, Blackmon proved to be outstanding from the beginning. Blackmon continued to improve over his four years at Boston, earning Big East Defensive Player of the Week and All-Big East Second Team honors. Blackmon was also selected to participate in the Senior Bowl in his last season.

Upon graduation, William Blackmon knew for sure he wanted to continue his football career and was given the opportunity to play for the Green Bay Packers shortly after. In his first season with the Packers, Blackmon had a 57 yard punt-return touchdown and was apart of the 38-7 win for the NFC North title. Blackmon proved himself to his team when he became the fourth player in NFL history (since 1974) to accomplish the feat of a kick and fumble return in the same game.

Blackmon and the Packers have been going strong ever since, so check out a Green Bay Packers game to catch the action live. Don’t miss out, so purchase your Green Bay Packers tickets today!

New recruit - Josh Bell

Have you heard of Josh Bell on the Green Bay Packers yet? Well you should. This California native, and Baylor graduate, has seen a lot in his two short years of football in the big league.

Josh Bell has been in the business of football since he was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2008. Unlucky for him, he was released later that year in August. Only a month later, Bell was picked up by the Denver Broncos and was signed to their practice squad. After being promoted to the active roster in October, Bell’s football career was looking up until he was put on the injured reserve about a year into his rookie season.

Since Josh Bell was out on commission, the Denver Broncos decided to reach an injury settlement and release him. Josh Bell received his third lucky break in the NFL last November when he was signed by the Green Bay Packers. The Packers had just lost Al Harris to a season ending injury, giving room for Josh Bell to jump on the Green Bay bandwagon.
