Demetress Bell is a retired NFL offensive tackle. The Buffalo Bills selected him in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL draft. He stepped into the NFL field without ever playing high school football. 

After the draft, Bell was attacked with numerous questions about his relationship with Karl Malone. He didn’t know his father until his mother filed a paternity suit against the Utah Jazz star. The two parties decided to do an off-court settlement.
