The Buffalo Bills may have gotten the steal of the draft with their fourth-round selection of WR Skyler Bell from UConn. League insiders are, and have been, buzzing about what the talented pass catcher brings to the table. A potential huge win for the organization.

The Buffalo Bills had 10 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft , but one name in particular is making waves across NFL circles. With the fourth-round selection, the Buffalo Bills drafted UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell, and analysts are buzzing about the selection. Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, Dave Helman from The Athletic Football Show got “reckless” with his comparison for Bell.

If he’s anything like what Helman compared him to, Bills Mafia will be talking about the selection for years to come. "This is probably the most reckless thing I'll say on this show," Helman said. "This is Ja'Marr Chase lite.

He's a freak athlete, he's explosive, but he's very powerful and strong. And watching him, I was just like, obviously, he's not Ja'Marr Chase. He's not going to be a top-10 pick.

I doubt he's going to be an All-Pro caliber player as a rookie, but he does all that type of stuff. He can take it to the house, he can just body people out of the way. He can high point the ball.
