Bell profiles as a versatile wideout who can be used outside and in the slot. He was a menace for the Huskies last season, totaling 101 receptions for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns. At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, Bell tested phenomenally. He ran a 4.4-second forty-yard dash, and he recorded a 41β vertical jump in addition to an 11β1β broad jump.
The Bronx, NY native was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award this past season, and he also was invited to the Senior Bowl and the East-West Shrine Bowl. He was a Consensus All-American, as well. Bell is a shade under 6β tall and weighs 192 lbs.
Buffalo added veteran wideout DJ Moore via trade with the Chicago Bears earlier this offseason. The team also retains Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer among last seasonβs top targets.
