The Buffalo Bills selected UConn WR Skyler Bell in Round 4 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Bell caught 69 passes for 756 yards and 6 TDs across three seasons at Wisconsin before transferring to UConn in 2024. There, he became the program’s first consensus first-team All-American in 2025. He ranked fourth nationally in receptions, second in yards, and tied for third in TD catches. Bell offers inside-outside flexibility, running 39.1% of his collegiate routes from the slot. He also ranked eighth among qualifying WRs with 3.14 yards per route. At 6’0, 192 pounds, Bell aced the NFL Combine with a 4.40 forty-yard dash, a 41-inch vertical, and an 11-foot, 1-inch broad jump.
Draft Sharks Rookie Guide: “At 6’0, 192 pounds with 4.40 speed and a 98th-percentile burst score, Bell blends explosion and polish. Mark him down as a sleeper in this WR class.”
Bell offers a blend of production and athletic ability that could give him a path to early playing time. He offers a downfield threat who could get some snaps early despite being a fourth round pick.
Bell will likely compete with Joshua Palmer for snaps in three-WR sets, though Bell will likely need time to ramp up.
Bell shouldn’t be selected in redraft leagues, but he can remain on the radar as a potential pick-up if an injury hits Khalil Shakir.
Bell’s production and athleticism makes him worth taking in rookie drafts in the fourth round. He offers enough upside to be worthwhile, even landing with Shakir and DJ Moore.
