Saints' Shough Pushes for Bell Draft

0:00On March 25th, the New Orleans Saints wrapped up last season strong, grabbing four wins in their final five games. Now their quarterback Tyler Show is pushing hard for the team to draft his old college teammate from Louisville, wide receiver Chris Bell in the Bronn by Lee, 2026 NFL Draft. The Saints hold eight picks that year, with three coming in the top 75, including the eighth, 42nd, and 73rd overall. Show sees Bell as the perfect addition to build on their momentum and boost the passing game. Bell put up a career-best 917 receiving yards and six touchdowns in 2025 before suffering an ACL tear in November. He's on track to be ready for training camp, and he already clicked well with Show back in 2024, hauling in 737. Yards in four scores that season. Draft experts see Bell as a possible late first round talent, but more likely available on day two. With their strong positions, the Saints could snack him without much trouble and reunite the duo in New Orleans.
