Skyler Bell: Jets' Draft Target for WR

0:00On March 27, the New York Jets are heading into the 2026 NFL Draft with a clear need for a wide receiver to pair with Garrett Wilson. General manager Darren Moogie might grab someone at the 16th overall pick or hunt for value in the middle rounds. One name that should be on their radar is Skyler Bell from the University of Connecticut. Bell brings ideal size at 6 feet tall and 192 pounds, plus he put up big numbers last season with 101 catches for one, 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns. The Bronx native turned heads at the NFL Combine, clocking a 4.4 second 40 yard dash with a sharp 1.5 3 10 yard split. He also posted a 41 inch vertical jump and an 11 foot 1 inch broad jump. Bell kept the momentum going a UConn's pro day, running a standout 6.65 second three Cone drill and a 4.1 1 second short, Shuttle, which ranks near the 90th percentile.
