George Karlaftis and David Bell are certainly headed to the NFL, but when?

Just in case they leave Purdue football after this season, the juniors took part in pregame Senior Day ceremonies before the Boilermakers played Indiana for the Old Oaken Bucket.

Karlaftis, a defensive lineman who has 36 tackles, 9 for a loss and 3.5 sacks in 2021, is considered a potential top-10 overall 2022 NFL Draft pick.

Karlaftis notched another sack Saturday

David Bell, who came into the IU game with 87 catches for 1,207 yards and 5 touchdowns, is considered a solid 2nd-round pick.

Bell had 6 catches for 79 yards and a touchdown Saturday, leaving him just short of the Purdue record for receiving yards in a season (John Standeford, 1,307 in 2002).
