The Buffalo Bills selected former Wisconsin receiver Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft on Saturday.
The Bills made Bell the draft’s No. 125 overall selection. Via UConn, he was the first former Badger selected.
Bell played for Wisconsin from 2021-23, appearing in 26 total games during that time. He tallied 755 yards and six scores on 69 receptions with the Badgers; his best season was a 30-catch, 444-yard, five-touchdown 2022 campaign.
The Watertown, Connecticut, native transferred to UConn following the 2023 season. He emerged as one of the top receivers in the sport during his two years with the Huskies, recording 151 total catches, 2,138 yards and 18 touchdowns. He headlined that stint with a 101-catch, 1,278-yard, 13-touchdown All-American 2025 campaign.
Bell joins a Buffalo Bills team that is still looking to break through with star quarterback Josh Allen at the helm. While the former Badger was a fourth-round pick, he should have a chance to contribute immediately.
